Are the QR codes permanent?
The QR code encodes your data directly. As long as the destination URL (if using a URL code) stays active, the QR code will never expire. There's no database or server dependency.
Create custom QR codes for URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, vCard contacts, and freeform text. Download your QR code as PNG or SVG — all generated in your browser with zero uploads.
Many QR generators send your data to a server to render the QR image. ByteBox uses a JavaScript library (qrcode.js) to render the QR code directly in your browser.
PNG for social media or quick sharing — SVG for print design, vector editing software like Illustrator or Inkscape, or high-resolution signage.
Create as many QR codes as you want. No daily limits, no watermark, no signup. The code renders instantly as you type.

Currently we support black-on-white standard QR codes. For custom colors or embedded logos, download the SVG and edit it in vector design software.
SVG is best for print — it scales to any size without losing quality. For digital use, PNG at the highest resolution setting works perfectly.
A standard QR code holds up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters or 7,089 numeric digits. For URLs, you'll almost never hit this limit — typical URLs are well under 200 characters.
