What is the best qr code generator without expiration?
Hi,
Trying to create a qr code for a business card, but running into a confusing issue. Many online qr code generators say they are free, but later the qr code stops working or requires a subscription. The goal is to find a qr code generator that does NOT expire and can be used long-term (for example, printing on flyers or business cards).
From what I understand, this might be related to something called static qr codes, which seem to last forever because the data is directly embedded in the code instead of relying on a service. However, not sure which tools are actually safe and truly free without hidden limits.
Currently using a Surface laptop (Windows 11). Any recommendations for the best qr code generator that no expiration or stop working in future?
