QR Code Generator

YES

Replaceable in one session with an AI coding agent.

Makes QR codes that point at a URL you can change later, with a scan count and a design editor for colours and a logo in the middle.

Promptfree, for everyone, and the only version there is

Build me dynamic QR codes.

STACK
- One serverless function, SQLite, a QR library — never write the encoder yourself

THE CODE
- A code points at /q/:id, not at the destination. That indirection is the entire product
- The destination is a row you can edit forever

DESIGN, CAREFULLY
- A centre logo may cover at most about 25% of the area, and only with high error correction
- Always render a test scan at print size before allowing a download

COUNTING
- One row per scan: timestamp, referrer, coarse device bucket, hashed IP
- Never store the raw address

EXPORT
- SVG for print and PNG for screens; SVG is what a printer will ask for

Include the schema, the redirect and the error-correction rule.

What you lose

A redirect you can repoint after the code is printed, which is the only reason to pay rather than generate one for free
Scan counts by day, place and device
A designer for colours and a centre logo that still scans reliably

If you would rather not build

Any static generator, if the target never changes
A redirect on your own domain, which is the same idea

Why this verdict

our own opinion · changed only by a person

94/100

Verdict yes at 94, among the highest here. A QR library plus a redirect table. The only real design constraint is how much logo a code can survive.
