The Evergreen Promise
Other “free” QR sites quietly give you a trial code that dies when the trial ends, then charge you to bring your printed menus back. We think that’s wrong, so we promise the opposite, in writing.
Read the promise- Free codes never expire. Static codes hold your data directly. They work even if we vanish.
- Paid codes are never held hostage. Cancel Pro and your dynamic codes keep working, frozen on their last link.
- Every design is scan-tested before you download it.
- No cookies, no trackers, no selling data.
How EvergreenQR compares
What you get for free here, versus what’s typical on popular “free” QR sites.
| EvergreenQR | Typical “free” QR site | |
|---|---|---|
| Codes keep working after a trial or cancellation | Yes, always | Often deactivated |
| Signup required to download | No | Often |
| SVG, PDF and EPS vector files | Free | Often paid |
| Scan test before download | Built in | Rare |
| Editable (dynamic) codes | $5/mo, or $79 once | $7–$15+/mo |
| Tracking cookies | None | Common |
A QR code can’t hold a whole PDF, so it points to where the PDF lives. Upload the file to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or your website, set sharing to “Anyone with the link”, and paste the link here.
If the document will change (new prices, new season), use a Pro dynamic code. You can swap the file link anytime without reprinting.
How to make your PDF QR code
- Upload your PDF somewhere public and copy the share link.
- Paste it here and style your code.
- Download and print; test-scan once before a big print run.
Questions, answered
My PDF link asks people to sign in. Why?
The file isn’t shared publicly. In Google Drive choose Share → General access → “Anyone with the link”.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. Static codes made here contain your information directly, so they work forever, even if EvergreenQR disappeared tomorrow. Dynamic (editable) codes are a Pro feature, and they keep working even if you cancel: they simply freeze on their last link.
