If your QR Code Generator Pro trial ended or your codes were deactivated, ShapingQR makes free dynamic codes with no trial and no scan limit, and checks every design before you download it. Once you confirm your email, they keep working until you pause or delete them.
Last updated: 8 October 2026
Codes already printed keep pointing at QR Code Generator's links, so switching only helps with new codes.
