## Summary
QR Code Builder is free with no paid tier. Every feature — all fifteen code types, vector SVG export, custom design, logo overlay and bulk generation — is available without an account. There is no scan limit, no watermark and no restriction on commercial use.

## Everything, at no cost
#### Everything

Free / forever

- All 15 code types

- PNG, SVG and JPG export

- Any resolution up to 4000 px

- Custom colours, shapes and eyes

- Centre logo overlay

- Bulk generation, 500 per batch

- Image decoding

- Commercial use

- No account, no email

- No watermark

- No scan limit

- No expiry

#### Not offered

— deliberately

- Scan analytics

- Editable destinations

- Team accounts

- Hosted API

- Campaign management

- Short-link hosting

Each of these requires running a service your printed codes would then depend on. That dependency is the thing this site exists to avoid.

#### If you need those

DIY / your domain

- Buy a short domain

- Run a redirect worker

- Log scans yourself

- Change destinations freely

- Own the dependency

- Costs about the price of a domain name

## How this is paid for
The honest answer: it is cheap to run. The site is static HTML and all the computation happens in your browser, so serving a large number of visitors costs a fraction of what a server-side generator would. There is no per-code cost because there is no per-code server call.

There is no advertising, no affiliate income and no data collection, so the site earns nothing directly. It is published because the free alternatives keep expiring on people who have already printed their codes.

What that means for you: no ads, no tracking pixels, no email capture, and no plan to introduce a paid tier that moves existing features behind it. If that changes, it will be announced on the announced on this page before it happens, and existing downloaded codes are unaffected regardless — they are files you own.

## What you may do with the output
- Use codes on products you sell, packaging, signage and marketing material.

- Use them in client work, including work you bill for.

- Redistribute them as part of your own designs.

- Use them without attribution. None is required or expected.

- Generate as many as you like. There is no fair-use ceiling because there is no server cost per code.

The one thing to note is trademark rather than licensing: *QR Code* is a registered trademark of Denso Wave. Use the term descriptively — a QR code generator — rather than as the name of a product you sell.

## Frequently asked questions
### Is there a catch?
No paid tier, no advertising and no data collection. The site is static files and all the work happens in your browser, which is why it costs very little to run.

### Will you start charging later?
There is no plan to. Any change would be announced on this page first, and codes you have already downloaded are files you own — they cannot be affected.

### Can I use the codes commercially?
Yes, including on products you sell, with no attribution required.

### Why is there no paid plan with analytics?
Because it would mean running a redirect service that your printed codes depend on. The guide to building your own covers how to get analytics without that dependency.
