Decision model

Choose by what you have and what can change later

This separates static links, typed QR payloads, redirect/dynamic paths, and tools so you do not need to stitch the product together yourself.

Static URLUse when the destination is final and you want the simplest printable QR.Open URL QR →Typed QRUse WiFi, business card, maps, chat, email, phone, or SMS when the scan should trigger a specific phone action.Choose action →Redirect / dynamicUse only after confirming whether hosted dynamic QR is available. Do not assume edit-later behavior.Check availability →Batch or validationUse tools when you already have QR data, need many files, or need to scan-test before production.Open tools →
Compare first if unsure

Resolve the common QR type mix-ups before opening a form

These comparisons handle the questions that usually cause backtracking: URL vs redirect, business card vs raw vCard, and generators vs tools.

URL vs RedirectURL is best for final destinations. Redirect is only useful when a controlled hosted path is actually available.Business Card vs vCardBusiness Card is the guided print flow. vCard is the raw contact payload flow.Generator vs ToolsUse generators to create one QR. Use tools to scan, batch, or size-check existing work.

Decide pricing, dynamic QR, and ownership before distribution

The generator list is free and local. Before printing, shipping packaging, or asking a team to reuse a QR workflow, decide whether the work needs hosted controls, a paid rollout path, or a different platform.

FAQ

The practical questions people ask before they print

Is QRFlow free?
Yes. QRFlow is free to use. QR generation runs locally in your browser.
What's "print-ready"?
Download SVG for sharp print at any size, or PNG for quick sharing. For printing, keep a quiet zone and use high contrast.
Do you upload my data?
No. Inputs stay in your browser. "Share this QR" stores data in the URL hash only.
Any tips to make it scan reliably?
Keep content short, use sufficient size, avoid low-contrast colors, and test with multiple phones before printing in bulk.
When should I check pricing?
Check pricing when the QR workflow needs hosted management, brand review, multiple owners, or a team rollout. Single static QR creation stays free.
