Question 1

Do these QR codes expire?

Accepted Answer

No. Static QR codes from ScanArtist.io encode your data directly and are generated entirely in your browser. There is no third-party URL that can be switched off, so a printed code keeps working forever.

Question 2

Is ScanArtist.io really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — free forever, with no paywall and no account. Every feature is available to everyone. There is only an optional Buy Me a Coffee link that gates nothing.

Question 3

Do my QR codes redirect through your servers?

Accepted Answer

No. Unlike many 'free' generators, static codes never route through a redirect domain we control. The QR contains your data directly, so nobody can disable it or hold it hostage for payment.

Question 4

Do you track scans or require a sign-up?

Accepted Answer

No sign-up is needed to generate and export static codes, and nothing is uploaded — generation happens 100% in your browser. Scan analytics only ever apply to optional dynamic codes and are opt-in and GDPR-compliant.

Question 5

What formats can I download?

Accepted Answer

PNG, JPG, WebP, SVG, PDF and EPS — all produced client-side, plus print-ready PDF at an exact physical size, one-click copy-to-clipboard, and batch export to a ZIP.
