QR code designer - frequently asked questions
Is the QR code designer really free?
Yes. Static PNG and SVG downloads are free with no watermark and no scan caps, and no account is required. Paid Kilo QR plans add the dynamic side - editable links, analytics, and animated GIF and MP4 exports.Do the QR codes expire?
No. A static QR encodes your content directly in the pattern, so no Kilo server sits between the camera and your content. The file works for as long as the print exists.Should I download a PNG or an SVG?
Use SVG for print and anything you might resize - it stays sharp at any size. Use PNG for quick placement on screens and in documents where a raster image is easier to drop in. Both are free.Do I need an account to make a QR code?
No. The designer runs entirely in your browser, and you can design and download a static QR without signing up. An account is only needed for dynamic links, analytics, and animated exports.What do the paid plans add?
Paid plans add the moving and measurable parts: from Starter, animated GIF and MP4 exports, dynamic links you can re-point after printing, scan analytics, and routing rules; Creator adds sponsor-ready shared reports and a branded qr2r.com subdomain; Pro and up add scoped API keys and team seats. The free designer stays complete.
