Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about our QR code generator.
What is a QR code?
A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that stores information such as a URL, text, or file link. When scanned with a smartphone camera or QR reader app, it instantly directs the user to the encoded destination. QR codes are widely used on print materials, product packaging, business cards, and digital displays to bridge the gap between offline and online experiences.
Can I customise QR code colours and add my logo?
Yes. FastLinkIt lets you choose custom foreground and background colours for every QR code you create. You can also upload your own logo or brand mark, which is automatically overlaid in the centre of the QR code. The logo is sized to maintain scannability while giving your codes a polished, branded look.
Can I create a QR code for a file download?
Absolutely. You can upload a file — PDF, image, document, archive, or any other supported format — and generate a QR code that triggers a direct download when scanned. File size limits depend on your subscription plan, ranging from 10 MB on the Free plan up to 500 MB on the Unlimited plan.
Do QR codes expire?
QR codes can optionally have an expiration date. You set the date when creating the code, and once it passes the QR code will no longer redirect to its destination. This is ideal for time-limited promotions, event tickets, or seasonal campaigns. If you do not set an expiration, the QR code remains active indefinitely.
Can I track QR code scans?
Yes. Every QR code scan is tracked in real time. You can see total scans, scans over the last 30 days, device type (mobile, desktop, tablet), operating system, browser, referring source, and geographic location including country, city, region, and continent. All analytics are displayed on an interactive dashboard with charts and filterable data tables.
Is the QR code generator free?
Yes. You can create QR codes for free with the Free plan, which includes up to 5 links per month with full QR customisation (colours and logo) and scan analytics. Paid plans offer higher monthly limits, larger file uploads, more storage, and advanced analytics features such as continent, region, ISP, and connection type breakdowns. View all plans.
