What are QR codes?

A QR (Quick Response) code is a scannable barcode that lets smartphones instantly open websites, share contact details, connect to Wi-Fi, send messages, and more. Businesses and individuals use QR codes to quickly connect the physical world to digital content.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about how Gridvine works

Is Gridvine really free?

Yes. Gridvine is a free QR code generator, so all QR codes can be created and downloaded for free. There are no subscriptions, hidden fees, or paywalls.

Do I need an account?

No. All our QR codes can be generated and downloaded without creating an account. You can read how we handle your data in our Privacy Policy.

Can I customise my QR code?

Yes. Almost every part of your QR code can be customised. Choose your pattern style, and style the eyes with independent corner frame and corner dot options. Pattern, frame, dot, and background each have their own colour picker, so you can match your brand exactly. You can also upload your own logo to the centre of the code for extra personalisation.

Can I track scans?

Not built in, no. But that's not a gap, it's a choice. Because your code links straight to your destination instead of through a tracked redirect, there's no dependency on us: no risk of a tracking service going down or getting shut off and breaking every code you've ever printed. Most QR code tools charge for scan analytics. We don't offer it at all, so there's nothing to upsell and no reason for us to want more visibility into your customers than you have.

Can I use the QR codes for my business?

Yes. QR codes generated on our website may be used for both personal and commercial purposes.

Why doesn't my QR code scan?

There are several reasons why a QR code may not scan correctly. The most common causes are low contrast between the QR code and its background, excessive customisation, a blurry or distorted image, or printing the QR code too small. It's also important to leave enough white space around the QR code and ensure the linked content is still available. The smallest QR code for print would be no less than 1 cm x 1 cm. Testing your QR code on multiple devices before sharing or printing it is always a good idea.

What devices are supported?

Our QR Code Generator works on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. The website is fully responsive, allowing you to create and download QR codes from virtually any modern web browser.

Do QR codes expire?

All our QR codes generated on our website do not expire. QR codes will continue to work indefinitely as long as the information they contain remains valid. For example, a URL QR code will continue to work as long as the destination website is available.
