QR Codes are two-dimensional barcodes that may be scanned by optical equipment and smartphones. A QR Code is a barcode that was created in 1994 for the Japanese automotive industry and carries information on the item to which it is attached!

Our QR Code editor will trigger the right content of the QR Code at download time to avoid screenshot issues!
QRcodeLab - online qr code generator - qr code replicaRegardless, a little QR Code in the upper left corner of the main GUI will always display the correct information. With a mobile device camera, you can easily double-check your tagging.

A QR Code is a barcode that carries encoded data such as:

Google Maps location

– and more coming soon!

Will my QR Codes remain active after I end my subscriptions?

It depends if your QR Code is static or dynamic.

Static QR Code: the QR Codes you create and download from our online QR Code generator are yours and will always remain active.
Dynamic/tracking QR Code: this kind of QR Code is working as long as your subscription remains active. If you suspend your subscription, for example if you switch to the unlimited free mode, your dynamic QR Codes are put on hold. This means that the usage statistics will no longer be recorded, that you will no longer have access to the analytics dashboard, and the final destination of your QR Codes will no longer be active. If you re-enable your subscription, everything will be restored but the statistics corresponding to the paused period will remain missing. If you choose to close your account, everything will be deleted within 24 hours with no way back, including your dynamic QR Codes and associated usage statistics.

The content of the displayed QR Code is partially replaced by some asterisks.

This is normal.
To avoid screenshot problems, the correct final content of the QR Code is generated at download time.

QRcodeLab - online qr code generator - qr code replicaAnyway, the small QR Code in the upper left corner of the main GUI will always display the correct content. You can easily crosscheck doing some tagging with a mobile device camera.

I’d like to use a short URL!

QRcodeLab - online qr code generator - content widgetThe use of short URLs is integrated in the workings of our QR generator. You just have to change the content to dynamic QR Code (the ‘Dyn QR’ switch). This can be done for the following kind of QR Codes:

– web address (URL),
– Google Maps,
– Google Play Store,
– and Apple App Store.

Use the ‘LIST’ button to review your collection of existing dynamic/tracking QR Codes and eventually reuse one instead of creating a fresh one.
Click on the ‘USE’ button and the content of your QR Code will update accordingly.

Is it possible to get analytics with my QR Codes?

QRcodeLab - online qr code generator - content widgetYes, it is possible to get analytics of the use of your qr codes. To do so, you have to opt for dynamic QR Codes, which are also tracking QR Codes.

These are linked with a statistical analysis platform integrated with the QR generator. You will be able to visualize the usage data in a dashboard of statistical analysis.

Not all QR Code contents can be treated as dynamic/tracking QR. See: ‘I’d like to use a short URL!’

I’d like to use my QR Code with an existing marketing campaign! (trailing URL)

QRcodeLab - online qr code generator - content widgetSimply add the trailing code of your marketing campaign in the QR Code content drop-down menu (‘?utm’ or whatever required by your online analytic tool).
Something like: ‘https://www.mywebshop.xyz/campaign01.html/?utm_source=december6-newsletter&utm_medium=qrcode&utm_campaign=my-first-campaign’

As those trailing data can get lengthy, the visual appearance of the QR Code could be ruined. Consider switching to a dynamic/tracking QR that will automatically produce short web addresses. Refer to ‘I’d like to use a short URL!’ for further information. You will also get usage statistics as a bonus.

What about other ‘2D’ matrix codes like: datamatrix, maxicode, azteccode, dotcode?

My Images

I lost the image I just downloaded!

We do not store your images on our servers!

management panel buttonBut you can still recover the last downloaded images you created. It’s available in your browser data, and you can access it through the management panel on the left side and then menu entry ‘Downloads’.

Be aware this works only while your current user session remains active (same machine, same browser and same user session). Locally stored data using the browser cache is deleted at logout!

I’d like to create a QR Code composition with a resolution higher than 4096 pixels!

Sorry, size higher than 4096px is not possible at present time with our online QR Code generator.

Workaround: try to upload only a portion of the original image. Once you managed to place your QR Code, perform a download of the resulting image (preferably in png image format).
Then use an image editor (like Gimp) to re-compose the entire image with the downloaded image portion containing the QR Code.

Can I place several QR Codes on the same image?

At present time… we don’t provide such functionality in our online QR Code generator!

But you can achieve this goal through an iterative process, each time downloading the resulting image with an additional QR Code (preferably in png image format) and uploading again to add another QR Code.

What operating systems do support our QR Code editor?

We aim to offer a truly universal app and web-based QR Code editor.

Currently supported operating systems:
Windows 10 lastest stable version
Mac OSX latest stable version
iOS and iPadOS latest stable version. Note that the Chrome and Firefox browsers rely poorly on Apple’s WebKit. Firefox won’t support our 3D QR Code deformation tool on these Apple operating systems. Also, both Chrome and Firefox won’t be able to save QR Code configuration settings files. However, they will be able to load these files. Prefer the Safari browser on iOS and iPadOS.
Android 9 & up
Linux: Ubuntu LTS 20.04 & 18.04, CentOS and RedHat 7 & up
ChromeOS latest stable version

Our web-based online solution requires some computing power from the processor. This should not be an issue on most desktop computers. For smartphone and tablets, you will get a nicer user experience with high-end devices and at least a 8-core processor with 8Gb memory.

Which web browsers support our online QR Code generator?

Our online QR Code generator works fine with the main web browsers on the market. Depending on the quality of the implementation of web standards, only some few features may not be enabled in some browsers.

Full support for latest stable version of:
Firefox: the best implementation of web standards! In case of slow display and behavior try to disable the hardware acceleration setting. Caveat: no 3D QR Code deformation on iOS and iPadOS due to Apple’s WebKit limitations.

Partial support for latest stable version of:
Chrome: the 3D perspective transform tool is not supported. Do not activate the Lite Browsing Mode!
Edge: since june 2020 the Edge browser is based on the Chromium browser engine. Refer to the Chrome browser limitations.
Safari: the 3D perspective transform tool is not supported. Plan a lot of RAM memory (≥32Gb) to avoid memory swaps, waiting times and untimely page reloads that will make you lose unsaved jobs!

No support:
Chromium
IExplorer 11
Opera
