Ideas
What to put behind a QR code
Photographers, studios and event teams use QR codes wherever a long link would be typed by hand.
Event signage and standees
Print one code on stage screens, entry banners and photo booth frames so attendees reach the event page in one scan.
Business cards and portfolio
Link your portfolio, Instagram or booking page from a business card, flyer or expo booth.
Google Drive or Dropbox folder
Share a folder of photos or files. Set sharing to "Anyone with the link" first, or people will hit a sign-in wall.
Reviews and feedback
Point clients to your Google review page or a feedback form on the delivery card or invoice.
Menus, forms and payments
Any page with a public link works: menus, RSVP forms, registration pages and payment links.

Static QR codes
Why these QR codes never expire
This tool makes static QR codes. Your link is written into the pattern itself, so a phone reads it directly. There is no redirect server in between that could go offline, show ads or start charging a monthly fee.
The trade-off: you can't edit the link or count scans after printing. If you need that, point the code at a page you control and update the page instead.
| Feature | Static (this tool) | Dynamic |
|---|---|---|
| Expires | Never | Often, when a trial or plan ends |
| Sign-up | Not needed | Usually |
| Edit link later | No | Yes |
| Scan tracking | No | Yes |
| Route to your link | Direct | Through a redirect |
Print tips
Make sure your QR code scans
Most QR codes that fail are printed too small, too light or too close to other artwork.
Print at least 2 × 2 cm
That is about 0.8 inches, the smallest size most phones read reliably on a card. For posters, a common rule is 1 cm of code for every 10 cm of scanning distance.
Dark code on a light background
Phone cameras look for dark modules on a light field. Inverted or low-contrast codes fail on some phones.
Keep the margin
The empty border around the code tells the scanner where it starts. Don't let text or artwork touch the code.
Use SVG for print
SVG is a vector file, so it stays sharp at any size. Printers and designers prefer it over PNG.
Shorter links scan faster
Long links make a denser code that needs a bigger print. Remove tracking parameters you don't need.
Test before you print
Scan the final file with two different phones. Check that the link opens without asking people to sign in.
For event photographers

FAQ
QR code generator FAQ
Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many QR codes you make or download.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. These are static QR codes: your link is stored in the pattern itself and nothing routes through our servers. The code keeps working as long as the link it points to works.
Can I change the link or track scans after printing?
Not with a static code. Changing the destination or counting scans needs a dynamic QR code, which sends people through a redirect service. If you need to update what people see, point the QR at a page you control, such as your website or a gallery link that stays the same.
Should I download PNG or SVG?
Use PNG for websites, slides, WhatsApp and social posts. Use SVG for anything printed, such as cards, banners and standees, because it stays sharp at any size.
What size should I print a QR code?
At least 2 × 2 cm (about 0.8 inches) for something held in the hand, like a business card. For signs, allow about 1 cm of code for every 10 cm of distance, so a code read from 2 metres should be about 20 cm wide.
Which error correction level should I choose?
Medium (M, 15%) suits most uses. Choose Q or H if the code will be printed on fabric, outdoors or anywhere it may get scratched. Higher levels add more modules, so print the code a little larger.
Is my link private?
Yes. The QR code is generated in your browser. The link you enter is not uploaded or stored by FotoOwl.
Can I make a QR code for a Google Drive or Google Photos album?
Yes. Open the folder or album, set sharing to "Anyone with the link", copy the link and paste it above. Without that sharing setting, people who scan will be asked to sign in or request access.
How do I make a QR code for wedding or event photos?
Paste your gallery link and download the code for your table cards or signage. With a FotoOwl gallery, guests who scan can take a selfie and see only the photos they appear in, instead of scrolling through the whole event.
