Letterpress QR code generator

Navy square marks look pressed into thick cream paper, with a soft shadow along each edge, the way a letterpress print sits slightly below the surface. The frame is pressed too. It brings an old printing craft to a modern code.

Printing tip

If your printer offers real letterpress, send the SVG and ask for a test impression; deep, even pressure keeps the square edges crisp enough to scan.

Static or dynamic: a static code never expires but its link can't change. Pick Dynamic above (free with an account) to change the link after printing and count every scan.

Questions

Is this an actual letterpress print?+

No, it is a flat image drawn to look pressed. For the real thing, give the SVG to a letterpress printer, who can turn it into a plate.

Will the pressed look scan?+

Yes. The navy marks are dark on a light cream panel, the code uses the highest error correction level, and the design is tested with real QR code readers before publishing.

Is it free for wedding stationery?+

Yes, for personal and commercial use, with no watermark and no sign-up. A static code never expires, though the link cannot be changed once printed.
