Terms of use
Plain-language terms for using the generator and tools. The main point: the codes you make are yours, to use however you like.
Effective 12 November 2026
Who these terms are with
Custom QR Code Generator (customqrcodegenerator.com) is run by Variable Ratio ("we", "us"). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.
Your codes are yours
You own the QR codes and files you create with the generator, and you can use them for any lawful purpose, personal or commercial, without paying us, crediting us or asking permission. That includes printing them on products, packaging, signage and anything you sell. We add no watermark and claim no rights in your output.
You keep all rights in the content and logos you put into your codes. Because the generator runs in your browser, we don't receive them. See theprivacy policy.
The QR code format itself is defined in the international standard ISO/IEC 18004. "QR Code" is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED, which has chosen not to exercise its patent rights on the standard.
What we provide
Static codes
The free generator makes static QR codes: the data you enter is encoded directly into the code. Static codes don't depend on this site, an account or any service of ours to keep working. We don't host your destinations, so we can't change, track or redirect what a static code points to, and we can't fix a static code after it's printed. If the data needs to change, you make a new code.
Dynamic codes
We plan to offer dynamic codes, which redirect through our servers and can be edited after printing, as a separate paid service. They are not available yet. Joining the waitlist doesn't create an account, a subscription or any obligation. Dynamic codes will have their own terms, including pricing and what happens if you cancel, published before anyone can buy them. These terms cover the free site and tools.
Your responsibilities
- What you link to. You're responsible for the content of your codes and wherever they lead, including keeping destinations available and lawful.
- Testing. Our scan check, checker and guides help, but they can't guarantee that every device will read a particular print. Test a proof before you print in quantity. See how to test a QR code.
- Acceptable use. Don't use the site or codes to deceive people, for phishing or malware, to infringe others' rights or to break the law. Don't attempt to disrupt the site, overload it or get around its security and rate limits.
- Others' marks. If you add a logo or brand you don't own, make sure you have the right to use it.
Our content
The site's design, text, guides and code are ours. You're welcome to link to and quote our guides with a link back. Please don't copy them wholesale or present them as your own.
Provided as is
The site and tools are provided free, "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We work hard on accuracy, but we don't promise the site will always be available or error-free, or that any code will scan in every situation.
To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for losses from printing, reprinting or relying on codes, arising from your use of the site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, or your rights as a consumer.
Changes
We may update these terms. When we do, we'll change the effective date above. Changes never take away your rights in codes you've already made.
