Free QR code generator with short links.
Turn any URL into a QR code. Shrtr returns both a PNG and an SVG — ready for print, slides, packaging, or embedding on the web.
What's in every QR
PNG + SVG on every link
A raster PNG for posters and slides, a crisp SVG for web and vector design tools. Both downloadable.
Short link attached
The QR encodes the Shrtr short URL — concise, resilient, and easy to recreate without the QR image.
Safe by default
Destination URLs are validated: no private hosts, no self-loops. Rate-limited to prevent abuse.
Frequently asked questions
Is the QR code generator free?
Yes. Shrtr generates QR codes for free, with no watermark and no signup. Each QR comes paired with a short link that you can share separately.
Can I download the QR as PNG or SVG?
Both. After shortening, the result page offers a PNG for print materials and an SVG for infinite-scale reuse in websites and design software.
Can I customise the QR code colours and size?
Yes. The result page exposes a customiser for the foreground and background colour, image size, quiet-zone margin, and error-correction level. Both PNG and SVG re-render to match the chosen settings.
Do the QR codes expire?
No. A QR code is rendered from the short link, and short links do not expire. As long as the short link works, the QR works.
Can I use Shrtr QR codes commercially?
Yes. You can print them on menus, posters, flyers, packaging, or business cards. There is no licensing fee and no attribution required.
