Higher levels survive more damage and bigger logos, but make the pattern denser. Auto picks H when you add a logo.

Quiet zone

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.

Text codes are great for labels, scavenger hunts, instructions, serial numbers and anything that should work without internet. Keep it short: under about 300 characters scans most reliably.

How to make your Text QR code

  1. Type your text.
  2. Watch the density meter, shorter is easier to scan.
  3. Download and print.

Questions, answered

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.

What is the Scan Score?

Before you download, we render your design small and slightly blurred, the way a phone camera sees it, and read every module back. The score shows how much of the built-in error correction your design uses. If it is low, the Fix button adjusts colors, logo size or error correction for you.
