QR codes that never expire
A printed QR code that suddenly stops working is the most expensive mistake in the QR market. Here is why it happens, and why it cannot happen with GenQR.
Static QR codes cannot expire, by design
A static QR code encodes your content (a URL, a Wi-Fi password, a contact card) directly in the image. Once downloaded, it works forever: there is no server involved, nothing to renew, nothing that can be switched off. Every static code you create with GenQR is yours, even without an account.
Why some generators “expire” your codes
Many popular generators create dynamic codes during a free trial: the code points to their server, and when the trial ends the redirect is disabled. The printed material keeps pointing to a dead link unless you pay. GenQR never does this: static codes never touch our servers, and the dynamic codes included in the free plan stay active.
When a dynamic QR code is the better choice
Dynamic codes shine when you want to change the destination after printing or count scans. With GenQR the free plan includes dynamic QR codes with unlimited scans, and if you ever downgrade we show you exactly what happens before you confirm.
Frequently asked questions
Do GenQR static QR codes ever expire?
No. The content is encoded in the image itself, so the code works as long as the printed or digital copy exists.
Do I need an account to create a QR code that never expires?
No. You can generate and download static QR codes for free, without registration and without ads.
What happens to my dynamic QR codes if I stop paying?
Dynamic codes within your plan limits keep working. If a downgrade would put you over the limit, we show you exactly which codes would be suspended before you confirm, and upgrading again reactivates them.
