Sign up and register at QR4 (see the logon tab), you have several options to purchase credits and can use these to create advanced proffesional commercial QR codes.
All QR codes generated using the free services on this site remain available for 1 hour after creation. After this they are removed and no longer available.
Any attempts to use these generators for direct commercial profit is forbidden, any parties found selling these services wihout prior concent will be prosecuted.
We give no direct nor implied guarantee of any nature nor offer any support on any QR codes generated using the free generation services on this site.
Yes, you are free to use the QR codes as you please as long as it is not for commercial purposes. Non-profit and charity organizations are free to use the generated QR codes as they please.
We accept two types of files for two different types of services.
- Bitmap files for graphics elements and QR code branding.
1. Make sure your file is a bitmap (.jpg .png. .bmp)
2. Make sure you have no punctuation or non-ASCII characters in the file name. Avoid characters like ? @ % & ~ | `\ /.
- Excel data files for batch processing and name badge creation.
1. Make sure the file is a valid Excel file and not a CVS delimited text file.
2. The demo data needs are strict. Download the same data files as template for you to put your data in. If you fail to follow the strict data structure, the file will not be used.
Make sure your URL reference is valid, like
'https://blog.qr4.nl/images/Interactive-QR-Video-ODOA.jpg' and not some html code like,
<img src="qr-code.jpg" />. Also ensure the image contains a clear picture of a QR code. Our decoder acts as a smartphone, so a small QR code at the bottom of a letter type image, will not decode. The QR code image must fill at least 50% of the image surface!
Examples of QR codes that will not decode.
|
Reason: Out of focus, bad colour combination and no 'quiet zone' arround the QR code. This is just to wrong in to many ways.
|
Reason: QR code image area below 50% of image surface.

Yes, all the QR4 QR code generators content contructors adhere to the norms and (ISO) standards for the purposes they have been assigned to.
If you are having problems scanning QR codes and downloaded the first best QR code scanner application you found. We recommend you scan the Internet to see what readers are recommended for your mobile device. Unfortunately there are many poor quality scanner applications on offer that do not support all the capabilites of QR codes. Else try installing more than one and choosing the reader that suits you best.
Yes, most generators allow you to choose many parameters that have influence on the readability of a QR code. As example: if you make the foreground colour and the background colour black, no QR code scanner will ever be able to read this code. So first try and understand if what you want to do is acceptable and adhere to the golden rule: TEST, TEST, TEST, before you implement your QR codes.
Simply said: Do your homework on QR code readers for your mobile device or smartphone first. DO NOT just install the first best QR code reader you find in the app store. Of the hundreds and hundreds of (free) QR code scanner applications available, not more than 10% are suitable in dealing with the diverse content types QR codes can contain. It is not the QR code at fault, but the inability or incompatibility of the application on the mobile device.
In short, we do not do give out any recommendations. The reason is the fact that many of these apps are updated regularly, meaning that scanners can be updated and the service improved. Unfortunately we have seen the opposite happen as well. It is therefore impossible to give a good and lasting recommendation for mobile QR Code scanner applications.
Yes and No You cannot put a contact image into a static or direct QR code, the reason is that the image data is much to big to fit into a normal size QR code. To have this feature available you can use a QR code to link to vcard file (with contact image) via a URL on the Internet. NOTE: this does not work for iPhones (ask Steve Jobs why!), here you need to email it to the phone.
