Question 1

Is QR Build really a free QR code generator?

Accepted Answer

Yes. QR Build offers a free plan that includes unlimited static QR codes and 1 dynamic QR code — no credit card required. You can create, customize, and download QR codes for URLs, text, WiFi, vCards, and more at no cost. The free plan is permanent, not a trial. Upgrade to a paid plan when you need more dynamic QR codes, advanced analytics, or team collaboration features.

Question 2

What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

Accepted Answer

Static QR codes encode content directly into the code pattern. Once created, the content cannot be changed. They're free forever and ideal for permanent content like WiFi passwords or email addresses. Dynamic QR codes use a redirect URL, so you can change the destination anytime without reprinting the code. They also include scan analytics (location, device, time) and support advanced features like A/B testing and retargeting pixels.

Question 3

What types of QR codes can I create?

Accepted Answer

QR Build supports QR codes for URLs, PDFs, images, videos, menus, WiFi networks, vCards (contact cards), plain text, email, phone numbers, SMS, and more. Each type is optimized for its specific use case. For example, WiFi QR codes let users connect with a single scan, and vCard QR codes save contact details directly to a phone's address book.

Question 4

How do I create a QR code with a logo?

Accepted Answer

After entering your content, use the design editor to upload your logo. QR Build places it in the center of the QR code with automatic error correction to ensure scannability. You can also customize colors, patterns, corner shapes, and frames. All customizations are available on the free plan. Download in PNG, SVG, PDF, or JPG format.

Question 5

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

No account is needed to create a static QR code. Just choose your type, enter content, customize the design, and download. For dynamic QR codes with analytics and editing, you'll need a free account. Sign up takes seconds — no credit card required.

Question 6

How is QR Build different from other QR code generators?

Accepted Answer

QR Build combines free QR code generation with professional management tools. Unlike basic generators, we offer: editable dynamic QR codes, real-time analytics, team workspaces with role-based permissions, folder organization, a full REST API, and a Chrome extension. Start free and scale as your needs grow — from individual use to enterprise teams.

Question 7

Can I use QR Build for commercial purposes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. QR Build QR codes can be used for any commercial purpose — marketing campaigns, product packaging, restaurant menus, business cards, real estate listings, event management, and more. There are no restrictions on commercial use for any plan, including the free plan.

Question 8

Can I edit a QR code after printing it?

Accepted Answer

Yes — if it's a dynamic QR code. Dynamic QR codes let you change the destination URL, file, or content anytime without reprinting. The physical QR code stays the same while the content behind it updates instantly. Static QR codes cannot be edited after creation. This is why dynamic QR codes are recommended for printed materials like menus, flyers, posters, and packaging.

Question 9

What analytics do I get with dynamic QR codes?

Accepted Answer

Dynamic QR codes include real-time analytics: total scans, unique scans, scan locations (city and country), device types (iOS, Android, desktop), scan times and dates, peak usage periods, and trends over time. You can export data, track UTM parameters, and measure campaign performance across all your QR codes from a single dashboard.

Question 10

How do workspaces and team collaboration work?

Accepted Answer

Workspaces let you organize QR codes by client, brand, or project. Each workspace has its own QR codes, folders, and team members. Invite colleagues with viewer, editor, or admin roles to control who can create, edit, or manage QR codes. Perfect for agencies managing multiple clients or businesses with multiple locations.

Question 11

How do team roles and permissions work?

Accepted Answer

Invite team members with viewer, editor, or admin roles. Viewers can see QR codes and analytics. Editors can create, edit, and organize QR codes. Admins can manage the workspace, invite members, and control access. Set permissions per workspace, ensuring the right people have the right access while keeping campaigns secure. Team collaboration scales with your plan.

Question 12

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Your QR codes remain active and scannable — they won't stop working. You retain access to your account and can export your data. Existing dynamic QR codes continue to redirect to their set destinations. You can reactivate anytime to regain full editing and analytics capabilities. No data loss, no broken QR codes.

Question 13

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. QR Build uses 256-bit SSL encryption, secure cloud storage, and regular security audits. You own 100% of your QR codes and data — we never claim ownership or sell your information. GDPR compliant. Access is controlled through workspace permissions, and you can revoke access at any time.

Question 14

What file formats can I download my QR code in?

Accepted Answer

Download QR codes in PNG, SVG, PDF, or JPG. PNG and JPG are best for digital use (websites, social media, email). SVG provides infinite scalability for any size. PDF is ideal for professional printing and high-resolution applications. All formats maintain scan quality.

Question 15

What size should I print my QR code?

Accepted Answer

Minimum recommended size is 1x1 inch (2.5x2.5 cm) for close-range scanning. For posters and signage, scale up based on viewing distance — a good rule is 1 inch per 10 feet of scanning distance. Download SVG or PDF format for the best print quality at any size.

Question 16

Can any smartphone scan a QR code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All modern smartphones (iPhone and Android) scan QR codes natively with the built-in camera app — no separate app needed. Simply point the camera at the QR code and tap the notification. This works on virtually all phones manufactured in the last 5+ years.

Question 17

Will my QR code work in black and white?

Accepted Answer

Yes. QR codes work perfectly in black and white, grayscale, or color. The key is contrast — ensure a clear difference between the QR code and its background. Black on white provides the highest scan reliability. Custom colors work too, as long as the code is darker than the background.

Question 18

Can I add a logo to my QR code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. QR Build's design editor lets you upload a logo that's placed in the center of the QR code. Built-in error correction ensures the code remains scannable even with a logo. You can also customize colors, patterns, corner styles, and add frames — all while maintaining reliable scanning.

Question 19

What happens when someone scans my QR code?

Accepted Answer

The person is instantly directed to your content — a website, PDF, menu, video, WiFi network, or contact card, depending on the QR code type. With dynamic QR codes, every scan is tracked: you'll see the time, location, device type, and more in your analytics dashboard.

Question 20

Can I print QR codes on any material?

Accepted Answer

Yes. QR codes work on paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, fabric, glass, wood, and more. Ensure high contrast and sufficient size for the scanning distance. For outdoor or long-term use, consider weather-resistant materials and protective coatings. Always test scan after printing, especially on textured or reflective surfaces.
