Whether you are a small business owner, a marketing professional, or an event organizer, our free tool allows you to generate unlimited, non-expiring QR codes that integrate seamlessly with your brand identity.

Why Use a Custom QR Code Generator?
In a crowded digital landscape, visual trust is everything. A standard QR code often looks like a generic data block. A branded QR code—one that utilizes your specific brand colors and logo—signals to users that the link is safe, professional, and relevant.
Key Features of GD Pro QR Studio
- 100% Free & No Expiration: Unlike many "freemium" generators, the codes you create here are static and yours forever. They will never expire.
- Fully Customizable Design: Change the dot patterns, modify corner "eye" shapes, and use gradient colors to match your website's palette.
- Logo Integration: Upload your own business logo or use our preset social media icons (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.) to place right in the center of the code.
- High-Resolution Downloads: Export your designs in crisp PNG format, perfect for printing on business cards, flyers, and packaging.
8 Powerful QR Code Types You Can Create
This tool is versatile enough to handle any business scenario. Select the tabs in the editor above to switch between these modes:
1. Website URL
The most common use case. Direct customers to your landing page, product collection, or online portfolio.
- Best for: Retail packaging, flyers, and posters.
2. vCard (Digital Business Card)
Networking has evolved. A vCard QR code allows new contacts to scan and instantly save your Name, Phone, Email, and Website directly to their smartphone contacts list. No more lost paper cards.
- Best for: Business cards, conferences, and email signatures.
3. WiFi Access
Stop making customers type in long, complicated passwords. A WiFi QR code automatically connects a user's device to your network immediately upon scanning.
- Best for: Cafes, restaurants, hotels, and Airbnb hosts.
4. WhatsApp & SMS
Streamline your customer support. Scanning these codes opens the user's messaging app with a pre-filled message (e.g., "I would like to book an appointment").
- Best for: Service-based businesses and direct sales.
5. Email & Crypto
Send pre-formatted emails or share your Bitcoin/Ethereum wallet address securely for easy payments.
How to Design the Perfect QR Code for Print
To ensure your code is readable by all smartphone cameras, follow these design best practices when using the GD Pro Studio:
- Maintain High Contrast: Always ensure your foreground color (the dots) is darker than your background color. Dark blue on white works great; yellow on white is often unreadable.
- Don't Overcrowd the Logo: When using the "Logo" feature, ensure the slider is set so the logo doesn't cover the "positioning eyes" (the three large squares in the corners).
- Use a Call-to-Action (CTA) Frame: Context increases conversion. Use the Creative Frames section in the tool to add text like "SCAN ME" or "GET WIFI," telling the user exactly what to expect.
- Test Before You Print: Always scan the preview on your screen with your actual phone camera before downloading the final file.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do these QR codes expire?
No. The GD Pro QR Studio generates static QR codes. The data is embedded directly into the image, meaning they will work forever as long as your website link remains active.
Can I use these QR codes for commercial purposes?
Yes. You can use any code generated here for commercial packaging, marketing materials, or business operations completely free of charge.
What is the best format for printing?
For most print materials (flyers, brochures, cards), the high-quality PNG download provided by this tool is sufficient. Ensure you print it at a size of at least 2cm x 2cm (0.8 inches) to ensure older phones can focus on it.
