Why do QR codes from other generators stop working?
Many popular "free" QR generators give you a dynamic code by default: instead of containing your link, the code points to their server, which then redirects to your link. That lets them disable your code when the free trial ends — typically days after you've already printed it on menus, business cards, or packaging — and charge upwards of €178/year to turn it back on.
ForeverQR only makes static codes. Your link is encoded directly into the pattern itself, by an algorithm running in your browser. There is no middleman server — ours or anyone's. The code will scan correctly for as long as your website exists, even if ForeverQR shuts down. That's not a promise we keep; it's math we can't break.
What's the catch?
Honestly: static codes can't do scan-counting analytics, and you can't change the destination after printing (the address is baked into the pattern — so double-check it before you print). If you need those features you need a dynamic code and a subscription somewhere. Most people don't: a menu, a WiFi card, a business card, a link to your shop — static is exactly right, and it should be free.
FAQ
- Will my code ever expire? No. It cannot. The data lives inside the printed pattern itself.
- Is there a scan limit? No. Scanning happens between the user's phone camera and your website — we're not involved.
- Can I use it commercially? Yes, freely — print as many as you like.
- Does adding a logo break scanning? No — we automatically use the highest error-correction level, which tolerates the logo area. Test-scan before mass printing, as you should with any QR code.
- PNG or SVG? PNG (1024px) is fine for most printing; SVG is infinitely sharp for professional print shops and large posters.
