Old film QR code generator

Slightly wobbly, hand-drawn marks in oxblood and sepia brown sit on a creamy aged-paper panel, inside a dark frame studded with small dots like the sprocket holes of a film strip. The chalky texture gives it the feel of a scratched frame from an old reel, with a warmth that regular square dots lack.

Printing tip

Hand-drawn marks need room to breathe, so print at 3 cm (1.2 in) or more with plenty of white margin and test on a phone.

Static code: it never expires, but the link can't change after printing. Need edits or scan counts? Make a dynamic code.

Questions

Will a sketchy QR code scan properly?+

Yes. Each mark stays centred on its grid cell, the code uses the highest error correction level and the design is tested with real QR code readers.

Can I use it for a film event?+

Absolutely. It suits screenings, festivals and photo exhibitions, and downloads are free for personal and commercial use.

Does it carry a watermark?+

No. PNG and SVG downloads are clean, with no watermark and no sign-up.
