Beautiful QR Codes Without the $7/Month
QR Tiger is a solid tool — but their free plan adds watermarks, limits downloads, and locks their best features behind a subscription. Simplified QR gives you the core features that matter, free forever.

Where we're better
Genuinely Free
No free trial. No feature limits with a paywall looming. Simplified QR is free to generate, free to download, free forever. No credit card required.
Zero Watermarks
QR Tiger adds their branding to free downloads. Every Simplified QR download is clean, professional, and ready to print without their logo on it.
No Account Required
You don't need to create an account to use any feature. Open the generator, create your QR code, download it, done. No email, no verification, no friction.
Fully Private
QR Tiger processes QR codes on their servers. Simplified QR generates everything in your browser — your URLs, contact details, and WiFi passwords never leave your device.
Where QR Tiger is better
We believe in honest comparisons. Here's what QR Tiger does that we don't.
Dynamic QR Codes
QR Tiger lets you change where a QR code points after you've printed it. We only support static QR codes — the destination is fixed when you generate.
Scan Analytics
QR Tiger tracks how many times each code is scanned, where, and on what device. We deliberately don't track scans — it's a privacy choice.
Code Management Dashboard
QR Tiger has a dashboard to organise and manage all your QR codes. We don't have a dashboard — each code is independent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I use Simplified QR instead of QR Tiger?
If you need static QR codes that you download and use — for WiFi, contact cards, URLs, or SMS — and you don't want to pay or create an account, Simplified QR is the better choice. If you need dynamic codes with scan tracking, QR Tiger's paid plans are worth considering.
Does Simplified QR add watermarks?
Never. Every QR code you download — PNG or SVG — is clean and watermark-free. That's a core promise, not a paid feature.
Can I generate the same QR code types as QR Tiger?
For static codes, yes. We support URL, WiFi, vCard, SMS, email, and plain text — the same types most people actually need. We don't support dynamic codes, which change destination after printing.
Is Simplified QR really free?
Yes. There's no premium plan, no trial expiry, no feature flags waiting to be unlocked. The generator, all QR types, PNG downloads, and SVG downloads are all free.
What about my privacy?
Unlike server-side generators, Simplified QR runs entirely in your browser. Your data — URLs, WiFi passwords, contact details — is never sent to our servers. We can't see it. We don't want to.
