Why it’s free

Free, and here’s why.

  1. 1

    A plain code costs us very little.

    A classic pattern and a short link take almost nothing to make and host, so there is no reason to charge for them.

  2. 2

    It’s how people get to know us.

    If you later want your own artwork or logo as the code, or a landing page behind it, we hope you’ll come back for that. It’s what we charge for, and it pays for the free codes.

  3. 3

    Editing and tracking shouldn’t be a paywall.

    Many generators lock the destination or the scan numbers until you pay, sometimes after the code is already printed. Changing a link and seeing your scans are basics.

And the catch?

Only these: up to 10 live codes per account, each live for a year and renewed free with one click, and you sign in with your email so the renewal reminder can reach you. No ads on your codes, no watermark, and we never sell your data.

Questions

What kinds of QR code can I make for free?+

Website links, Wi-Fi, contact cards (vCard), WhatsApp, UPI payments, email, phone, SMS, map pins, calendar events, app downloads, social profiles, review links, files, videos and plain text. Link kinds get an editable short link and analytics; Wi-Fi and UPI are baked into the code itself and need no account.

Is the AriaQR free QR code generator really free?+

Yes. A free AriaQR code costs nothing, has no watermark, and includes a dynamic link you can edit and full scan analytics. It lives for a year and renews free with one click from the reminder email.

Do I need an account?+

You sign in with an email code or Google, so we can send the renewal reminder and keep your codes together. No password and no card.

Can I change where the QR code goes after printing?+

Yes. Every free code uses a short AriaQR link, so you can change the destination at any time without reprinting.

What analytics do free codes include?+

Scans over time, unique visitors, device and operating system, city-level location from the network, hour-of-day, and a CSV export. The same dashboard as paid codes.

What happens after a year?+

You get emails 30, 7 and 1 day before the year ends with a one-click renewal. If nobody renews, the code pauses and shows a notice instead of redirecting; it can be brought back for 30 more days.

How many free codes can I have?+

Up to 10 live free codes per account. The quarter plan lifts that and adds the picture-style codes.

What is the difference between a free code and an AriaQR picture code?+

A free code is the classic black-and-white pattern. A picture code makes your photo, logo or artwork the QR code itself, verified on real scanners before download. Both share the same links and analytics.

Only need a short link, no code? The free URL shortener makes aqr.li links with the same click analytics.
