Classic QR code generator
The classic design is the QR code everyone recognises: crisp square modules, dark on light, nothing added. It looks neutral and businesslike, which is exactly why it suits documents and signage where the code should not draw attention to itself.

PNG is 2048 px for screens and print; SVG scales to any size. Free for personal and commercial use, no watermark.
Works well for
- Real estate for-sale signs
- Product labels and packaging
- Printed contracts and invoices
- Restaurant menus and table cards
Printing tip
Print it at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide, keep the white border around it, and always scan the proof with your own phone before a big print run.
Static code: it never expires, but the link can't change after printing. Need edits or scan counts? Make a dynamic code.
Questions
Is the classic QR code really free?+
Yes. You can download it as PNG or SVG with no sign-up and no watermark, and use it for personal or commercial projects.
Which format should I download for print?+
Choose SVG for anything that will be resized, such as signs or packaging, because it stays sharp at any size. PNG is fine for screens, slides and small prints.
Will my classic QR code stop working?+
No. The link is baked into the pattern, so the code never expires. It cannot be edited after printing, though, so double-check the link first. Editable dynamic codes are available on AriaQR if you need to change a destination later.
