If you searched “Flowcode alternative”, you usually want one of two things:

  • A fast free QR generator for print (download SVG/PNG).
  • A dynamic QR you can edit later (redirect + tracking).

Quick decision#

Choose a static generator if: your destination is stable (website, menu PDF, WiFi, contact info) and you care about scan reliability + clean printing.
Choose dynamic if: you need to change the destination later or measure campaigns (redirect + analytics).

Checklist: what to compare#

  • SVG download for print (avoid blur).
  • Scan reliability: quiet zone, contrast, and density (short URLs).
  • Static vs dynamic: can you update the destination after printing?
  • Analytics: scans, devices, referrers (if you need measurement).
  • Privacy: does generation run locally (no uploads) for sensitive inputs?
  • Bulk workflows: CSV/ZIP export if you need many QR codes.

If your main use case is bulk generation, use bulk QR code generator (CSV → ZIP) or see QR code generator API guide.

Fast path with QRFlow#

  1. Pick a template (most common: URL QR, business card (vCard)).
  2. Generate and scan-test on iPhone + Android.
  3. Download SVG for print (or PNG for sharing).
  4. If you need editability later, enable Dynamic QR.
