Where to make a QR code

[Rochard]

Where does one make a QR code that does not expire.

I made a QR code for a local project and created what I thought was a free QR code and printed out 2k flyers only to discover it expired after two weeks and they wanted me to pay up to keep the QR code working.

Reachard, if you want to make a QR code that you own, you should be puttering around with the AI and coding it yourself:

import qrcode

# The data you want to encode in the QR code
data = "https://www.example.com"

# Generate the QR code
qr = qrcode.QRCode(
version=1, # controls the size of the QR Code
error_correction=qrcode.constants.ERROR_CORRECT_L, # controls the error correction used
box_size=10, # controls how many pixels each “box” of the QR code is
border=4, # controls how many boxes thick the border should be
)
qr.add_data(data)
qr.make(fit=True)

# Create an Image object from the QR Code instance
img = qr.make_image(fill_color="black", back_color="white")

# Save the image to a file
img.save("my_own_qr_code.png")

print("QR code generated and saved as my_own_qr_code.png")

A lot of the free sites out there will generate a QR code that links to their site, not yours. A QR code itself is a free simple thing anyone can make, like the code Huggles posted above.

There are free generator sites that just generate a bare qr code that points to where you want, like https://www.qrcode-monkey.com .

That's the problem. They say they are free and then two weeks later they send you email saying "sign up to continue".

Your link looks good.

Haven't you learned by now that when shit is free, YOU are the thing for sale?

In a rare moment, I'll defend roctard here... I fell for the same fucking site.. cant remember the name..

They really dont make it clear that you need to pay, until it expires, I think they AIM for such situation.

And if you think his 2k flyers was bad... I did it on a 8 foot tall, 20 wide background for a fucking trade booth..

I actually reprinted my own custom QR code 1.5foot by 1.5 foot and stuck it over the printed one, was a fucking mess.

At least you could fix it by changing just 1 thing!

This time I got tricked. Everything said "free, free free".

Now I know.

here's another open source script if the last one was too complicated. anyone with a server should be able to install it easily.
