Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about clik.so's free QR code generator.
Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes — 100% free with no signup, no watermark, and no limit on how many codes you generate or download. There is no trial period or hidden paywall.
Can I add my own logo to the QR code?
Yes. Upload any image (PNG, JPG, or SVG under 2MB) and it will be placed at the center of your QR code. We automatically lock error correction to High when a logo is added, so the code keeps scanning reliably even with part of the pattern covered.
What file formats can I download?
You can export your QR code as a PNG (best for digital use and transparency), JPG (best for print and smaller file sizes), or PDF (ready to drop into a flyer, menu, or brochure) — all rendered at high resolution.
Will my QR code ever expire or stop working?
No. This tool generates a static QR code that encodes your content directly, so it works forever with no expiry. If you want a QR code you can edit or redirect after printing — plus scan analytics — create a free clik.so dynamic QR code instead.
Do I need to create an account to use this tool?
No account is required to generate and download QR codes. Signing up for clik.so is only needed if you want dynamic, trackable QR codes with analytics, custom domains, and AI-powered link features.
What is the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?
A static QR code (like the ones made here) encodes your content permanently — it cannot be edited after creation. A dynamic QR code points to a short link you control, so you can change the destination, track every scan, and see analytics, all without reprinting the code. clik.so offers dynamic QR codes on paid plans.
Which error correction level should I use?
Higher error correction (Q or H) lets a QR code keep scanning even if it is partially damaged, dirty, or covered by a logo. Use High if you added a logo; Medium or Quartile is plenty for a clean code with no logo.
Can any phone scan these QR codes?
Yes. Every modern iPhone and Android phone can scan a QR code directly from the native camera app — no separate scanner app needed.
