Free QR code generator with logo, colours and stickers

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a square pattern of dots that a phone camera reads to open a web address, start a chat, show text and more. Point the camera at it and tap the link that appears. No app is needed on modern iPhone and Android phones.

Open the ALBM.IN QR Code Designer, type or paste the address, choose colours and a pattern, optionally add a logo and a sticker, then press Download PNG. It takes about a minute and needs no account.

The ALBM.IN QR Code Designer is free, adds no watermark, has no scan limit, lets you upload any logo or choose popular social icons, and works in the browser without sign-up. Whether it is best depends on whether you need scan analytics, which it does not offer.

No watermark and no expiry. The code holds the address itself, so it keeps working for as long as the destination page exists.

A static code stores the address inside the pattern, so it cannot be edited later but never expires and needs no service to stay alive. A dynamic code stores a short redirect address, which lets the owner change the destination and see scan counts, usually for a monthly fee. This tool makes static codes. The optional albm.in short link for well known sites is a fixed redirect, not an editable one.

Not with a static code. If you may need to change the destination, point the code at a page you control, such as your own link page or a Google Drive link whose content you can replace, then print that.

A QR code is only a link, so the risk is where it goes. Check the address your phone shows before you open it, be careful with codes stuck over other codes, and never enter passwords or payment details on a page you reached from an unknown code. This tool only offers its short link for a list of well known sites.

This designer makes codes for web addresses, WhatsApp chats and plain text. For a PDF or menu, upload the file to Google Drive or your website and paste its link. For Wi-Fi you can paste the standard text WIFI:T:WPA;S:network;P:password;; into Plain text. UPI and vCard codes are not built in.

Medium by default and the highest level (H) when you add a logo. Higher levels add redundancy so the code still reads when part of it is covered, at the cost of a denser pattern.

Yes. The built-in camera app on current iPhones and most Android phones reads QR codes directly. Google Lens and many chat apps also scan them.

Yes. The codes you make are yours to use on print, packaging, signs, websites and ads, with no attribution required.

Use SVG for signs, banners and anything a professional printer handles, or the print-size PNG for desktop printing. Keep the code at least 2 cm wide and with its blank border. For a poster read from several metres away, scale it so the width is about one tenth of the reading distance.

Open the camera app, point it at the code, hold steady for a second and tap the banner or link that appears. If nothing happens, move closer, add light, or use Google Lens.

No. The address, logo and design are handled in your browser and are not sent to our servers or saved. The only server involvement is the optional short link, which redirects a scan and keeps no list of links.

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark, no scan limit and no expiry date. You design the code, download it and use it as often as you like, on print or on screen.

No. The code, the sticker and any logo you upload are made in your own browser and are never sent to our servers. Nothing is saved to an account because there is no account. Close the tab and it is gone, so download the file you want to keep.

A direct code holds your web address inside the pattern, so it scans straight to your page and keeps working for as long as that page exists, even without us. For well known sites such as Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube and Google Maps you can instead choose an albm.in short link: the scan opens albm.in for a moment and passes straight on to the same page. Any other address is always encoded directly.

Well known profile, messaging, video and map hosts, plus albm.in pages. We only forward to a short list of trusted sites so the service cannot be used to send people to harmful pages. Every other address is encoded directly into the code.

Not with this tool. The codes are static, which is why they never expire and cost nothing to keep alive. If you want to know how a link performs, add campaign tags to the address itself and read them in your own analytics.

Almost always it is contrast or size. Use a dark code on a light background, keep the blank border around the code, do not stretch it, and print it at least 2 cm (about one inch) wide. If you add a logo keep it under about a third of the width. Always test with two different phones before you print a large batch.

PNG is right for social posts, messages and most printing. SVG is a vector file that stays sharp at any size, which suits banners, signboards and professional printers. The SVG holds the code only, without the sticker.

Yes. Choose one of the popular social icons or upload your own picture. The code is built with a high level of error correction so it still scans with a logo covering part of the middle.
