Static QR Codes
The data goes straight into the pattern. No account, no tracking, nothing to manage.
Best for raw notes, serial numbers, secret phrases, Wi-Fi fallback text, or short instructions.
Use a full URL with protocol so scanners land directly on the correct page.
This type opens the user's email client with the recipient filled in first, then optional CC, subject, and message body.
Search results come from OpenStreetMap Nominatim. The map updates only after the user picks the exact location.
The generator will combine the selected country code with the phone number so scanners can call directly from the QR code.
SMS QR opens the messaging app with the number ready and a message body capped at 160 characters.
This matches the Wi-Fi payload structure from the dedicated static Wi-Fi page, so we can reuse the same generator logic later.
This type will package the event title, schedule, place, and description into a calendar-ready QR payload.
This type is designed for shareable contact cards, with enough fields to export a clean vCard payload across multiple versions.
Share a quick note, instructions, coupon code, or any raw text block.
If you need to update the content or see who scans, create a dynamic QR code instead.
Create a dynamic QR codeWhat is a static QR code?
A static QR code stores data directly in its pattern. Once you print it, the content is permanent.
Fixed content
Whatever you encode (a URL, phone number, email, Wi-Fi password) is locked in.
No server
The data lives in the code itself. Wi-Fi, VCard, and Phone types work offline.
No expiration
Nothing to renew. No dependency on any service to stay alive.
Free, always
No account needed. No watermarks. No limits.
When to use a static QR code
Static works when the information is final and you do not care about tracking.
Wi-Fi
Share network name and password. Guests scan and connect. No webpage, no internet needed.
Permanent signs
A phone number on a truck. A map pin for a building. Info that will not move.
Packaging
Stable URLs on large print runs. If the content is final, static avoids the overhead.
No connectivity
Wi-Fi, VCard, Phone, SMS, and Email codes read directly from the pattern. They work in basements.
One-off use
Phone number on a card. Email on a flyer. Nothing complicated.
Digital menus (final)
Stable menu PDF or page URL. If prices and items won't change, static prints once.
8 static QR code types
Each one encodes a different kind of data.
Link
A fixed URL. Cannot change after printing.
Opens a pre-filled email: recipient, subject, body.
Location
Opens a map pin in Google Maps or Apple Maps.
Phone
Dials the number when scanned.
Event
Adds a calendar entry title, date, time, location.
VCard
Saves name, phone, email, and address to the phone.
What static can't do
Two common questions people ask before printing.
Can you edit it after printing?
The destination is locked into the pattern. If you need to update the URL, fix a typo, or change a menu, you have to print a new code. For anything that might change, use a dynamic QR code.
Can you convert it to dynamic later?
The pattern itself can't be converted. You would create a new dynamic code and reprint. If you think the content might change down the road, start with dynamic it costs nothing to switch.
Pick a type. It is free.
Static or dynamic. No credit card either way.
