Last updated 14 August 2026
Using the site
Plain QR Codes is free to use, with no account and no usage limits. Use it for personal or commercial purposes. You do not need our permission and you do not need to credit us.
Please do not:
- Use it to create QR codes that facilitate fraud, phishing, malware distribution or anything else unlawful.
- Attempt to disrupt the site or the infrastructure it runs on.
- Re-publish the site as your own service.
The QR codes you create are yours
Plain QR Codes does not claim ownership of QR codes or content generated with the site. Print them, sell them, embed them in products. QR Code is a registered trademark of Denso Wave, but the standard itself is open and free to implement and use.
No warranty
The site is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind. We have tested the generators thoroughly, including decoding what they produce to verify it reads back correctly, but we cannot guarantee that a particular QR code will scan on a particular device, in particular lighting, at a particular size, printed on a particular material.
Test a printed proof before committing to a print run. Scan it with multiple phones at the intended size, distance, material, and lighting conditions. The size guide covers what usually goes wrong.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of this site or the QR codes made with it — including printing costs, reprints, lost business or a code that fails to scan. This is a free tool with no account and no contract; if it does not meet your needs, the remedy is to stop using it.
Availability
We intend to keep the site running, but make no commitment to. It may be unavailable, may change, and may one day be shut down.
QR codes generated here are static and do not route through Plain QR Codes, so previously generated codes can continue to work even if the site later becomes unavailable. See static versus dynamic.
Advertising and third-party links
The site displays advertising to cover its costs. Ads are supplied by a third-party network and we do not endorse, vet or control what appears. Any dealings with an advertiser are between you and them. Pages here also link to external sites we do not control and are not responsible for.
Privacy
See the Privacy Policy for details. QR content entered into a generator is processed on the user’s device and is not sent to Plain QR Codes.
Changes to these terms
These terms may change; the date at the top will change with them. Continuing to use the site after a change means accepting the revised terms.
Not legal advice
These are plain-language terms for a free utility, written to be readable rather than exhaustive. They are not legal advice, and they are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional about your own situation.
