Sunburst QR code generator

Every dot is a wedge pointing at the centre, shaded round the circle from burnt orange to deep red, with a small star where the rays meet. The panel is a warm cream, so it glows without needing any effects. It feels like a vintage poster sun.

Printing tip

Leave the star in the middle clear and do not overlay a logo on it; the rays point there and the code stays easiest to read that way.

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

Will a sunburst QR code scan like a normal one?+

Yes. The wedges are dark on a light panel, the code uses the highest error correction level, and every design is tested with real QR code readers before it is published.

What is the star in the middle?+

It is a decorative badge where the rays meet. It sits over the centre of the code, which the highest error correction level is built to tolerate.

Is it free for commercial use?+

Yes, with no watermark and no sign-up. The code is static, so it never expires, and the link cannot be changed after printing.
