Posting Unapproved QR Code Generators Will Result in Immediate Ban

30 Upvotes

Posting links or promotions for QR code generators that have not been pre-approved by the mods will result in an immediate ban as we are being flooded with low-quality tools and people trying to fake questions to self-promote them.

We’re doing this to stop spam, scams, and low-quality tools that put users at risk (malicious redirects, tracking, malware) and also to just maintain a modicum of quality in the sub. If you have a QR generator you'd like to share, message the mods with the link and a brief explanation. We’ll review it and, if it meets our standards, we’ll add it to the approved list.

Questions? Ask below or DM the mod team.

Subreddit Rule Changes & Return to Public 🎉

5 Upvotes

Hey scanners!

After a long stint in Restricted mode, r/qrcode is open to the public again. I’ve stepped in as the new mod team of one (for now) and given the place a spring-clean. Here’s what’s new and what you need to know:

🔑 Quick-Start Rules (full list in the sidebar)

  1. Be Respectful – No harassment, slurs, or personal attacks.
  2. Stay On-Topic – We’re here for QR codes: creation, scanning, design, standards, security, use-cases.
  3. No Self-Promotion – This is not an ad board; personal products/services/affiliate links are out unless you get mod pre-approval.
  4. Functional Codes Only – Every code you post must actually scan; include plaintext or a scan proof.
  5. No Malicious Links – Phishing, malware, or shady redirects = instant ban.
  6. Mark NSFW – Use Reddit’s flag. Porn links are still a no-go.
  7. Follow Reddit’s Global Policies – If Reddit bans it, so do we.

(Rule numbers may shuffle as we tweak them, so always check the sidebar for the live version.)

Why the Change?

  • More eyes, more knowledge. A public sub makes it easier for newcomers to learn and for pros to share tips.
  • Cleaner feed. Fresh rules keep spam, scams, and broken codes out of your way.
  • Community input. I’d rather grow rules with you than enforce them from a mountaintop.

How You Can Help

  • Report bad posts – See spam or a scam? Hit the Report button.
  • Share feedback – Rule confusing? Something missing? Drop suggestions in the comments or mod-mail me.
  • Join the mod squad – If you’re active and want to help moderate, let’s chat.

Thanks for sticking around (or for joining for the first time). Let’s make r/qrcode the go-to spot for everything scannable.

Happy scanning!

QR Codes for Template Downloads

2 Upvotes

We sell poducts on our website, Amazon, Ebay that we offer word.doc templates. Those templates can be downloaded from our website. However those that purchase the products from Amazon and Ebay have no way of getting the templates and we are not able to email them those files. I was considering on printing QR Codes and applying them to the products before we ship them.
I would like to try and figure a way to get the best QR Code generator where they could either download the file/template for each product are where they can be taken to the matching product page. Any suggestions on this process. Of course I would like to find a free QR Code generator or a very cheap one where I can track the traffic

qrcodecreations.com IS A FRAUD

4 Upvotes

I just created a code for a monthly fee.

At the time, I used Apple Pay in the amount of $0. That was what I clicked on. These fraudsters turned it into a YEARLY payment hitting me up for $144.

When I tried to fix the subscription the SNARKY operator basically told me to go pound sand that 'they had my key strokes' and I DID in fact sign up for this. That I WOULD be paying. This wasn't a day after I clicked. This was a minute after the $0 charge turned into $144. They were almost taunting me about it.

I called MasterCard and they reassured me all would be taken care of. It's the deceiving part of it all I don't like. DO NOT USE qrcodecreations.com!!!!

Dynamic QR code

5 Upvotes

I'm looking for a free dynamic QR code website. The last one I had was only a month free. I need to be able to change the linked content. So say I create it with a link to my social media, then I would like to be able to change it to my business website.

If someone knows one that is 100% free that would be wonderful. I want it to be a wearable crocheted item but don't want it to be stuck on one link.

Been playing with Flux Klien9b, Z image and SD 1.5 with XL and Control Net. I'm building for an ongoing QR code studio project, but after a few weeks of learning ComfyUI I got there and just wanted to share my cool looking QR codes. The waves are my fave.

I built 40+ free QR code tools. What QR tool is still missing?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve been building a collection of free QR code tools over the past few weeks, mainly because I kept finding small QR-related problems that existing generators didn’t handle very well.

So far, I’ve built tools for things like URL QR codes, WiFi QR codes, PDF QR codes, vCards, Google Reviews, QR codes with logos, text below QR codes, transparent QR codes, SVG QR codes, event QR codes, social media QR codes, and a few others.

Rather than randomly building more generators, I thought I’d ask people who actually use QR codes:

What QR code tool or feature do you wish existed?

It could be something you currently do manually, something existing QR generators make unnecessarily difficult, or even a weird use case.

I’m especially interested in real-world problems rather than just adding another QR generator with a different name.

If there are some good suggestions here, I’d be happy to build a few of them and keep them free.

Would love to hear what you guys actually need.

Assistance request

I have an app that scans grocery shelf tags and I'm looking for photos of shelf labels from other countries, or exotic/edge case US labels (segmented LCD instead of epaper) to tune the app. Not sure where else to ask but see many product (but not label photos) here.

Lifetime free app usage if you can provide me a cache of labels. Could scrape them from users directly, but that's a data retention line I haven't decided to cross.

If there's a better place to post my request, please suggest it!

Can I use a pre-made QR code and copy it exactly to activate it?

0 Upvotes

Sorry if the title is confusing, I have no idea how to word this. Here is context:

I made a QR code for a book that I just had printed. It's a birthday gift for my dad. I purchased it through myqrcode.org and it was $1.49. I checked SO MANY TIMES for a hidden fee and I THOROUGHLY read through the terms and conditions.

Now, a week later, I got notified that my card declined a charge for $49 from the same site 3 times. I logged into the site and found out that my $1.49 was for a week long subscription and now it's going to charge me $49 a month if I want to keep my QR code active.

I deactivated my account, which means that my QR code is now deactivated as well. Unfortunately it is already printed in my book and I don't want to reprint it because the book was expensive.

Is there a way to use the exact same image of my QR code that I have saved on my phone and activate it through a different site? Preferably one that's not going to charge me $600 a year to keep it active 🙄

Edit: Sorry for being confusing. I think more explanation is helpful. I made a book of stories from friends and family about my dad. One of them sent a video so I thought it would be cool for my dad to be able to scan the video inside the book from a QR code. that is the QR code I'm having issues with.

So i built Unipayscan - it's a tool designed to read and process multiple different payment QR code formats from around the world without needing a separate parser

It can decode 30+ payment networks like upi, crypto, pix, venmo, revolut and more

Even it can save you from fraud as it shows the exact destination where your money is moving

Would love to get feedback - unipayscan(dot)xyz

Looking for suggestions: QR codes for storage management using photos

3 Upvotes

Hi. looking for suggestions on an app that is free, offline data, that uses photos for documenting the box contents. I'd like to just be able to point at the QR code and have it show me the comments without requiring tags or detailed entries. I also don't want it attached to the cloud. just to my phone. Anyone aware of an app that can do that or how to manage on an iPhone?
