PDF QRCode Generator FAQs

Questions about generating PDF QR codes

1. What can I encode in a QR code?

Any URL or text — a website, a booking link, a menu, a Wi-Fi password, contact details or a product reference. Whatever you type into the content field is what the scanner reads back.

2. Do I need to register to generate a QR code?

No. The generator runs without an account, up to ten QR codes in 24 hours. Sign up when you need more than that, saved templates or API access.

3. What format is the generated QR code?

This tool returns a PDF, which is what you want for printing on flyers, packaging, signage or a document. If you need a PNG or JPG image instead, use our QR code generator with custom logo.

4. Can I add a logo to the QR code?

Yes. Upload a logo in the form and it is placed in the middle of the code. Our custom logo QR code generator also ships ready-made LinkedIn and Instagram variants.

5. Will the QR code expire or stop working?

No. These are static QR codes — the destination is encoded in the pattern itself, so there is no redirect service in between, nothing to expire and no scan limit. Change the destination and you generate a new code.

6. Can I change the size or colors of the QR code?

Yes. Open the template in our drag-and-drop editor to set the size, colors, background and any surrounding text or artwork, then save it as your own template. Keep good contrast between the code and its background so scanners still read it.

7. Can I generate QR codes in bulk or from my app?

Yes. Call our REST API to generate one per record, use Bulk PDF Generator for a CSV, or wire it to Zapier, Make.com, N8n or Bubble so each new row gets its own code.

8. Is the QR code generator free?

Yes. Generating QR codes with this tool is free and needs no registration; paid plans cover higher volumes, saved templates and automated generation.
