Free QR Code Generator with Custom Icons and Colors

If you have been on the internet, then you know what a QR code is. For those who don’t, a QR code is a machine-readable black-dot square image with a white background. The QR code is similar to the ISBN barcode but has greater use as it can store a larger dataset, unlike the barcode, which can only store numbers.

There are online tools that you can use to generate a QR code for any kind of text content. These QR code generator tools are mostly free. However, the ISBN Agency in the US offers QRPlus service for $25 each. The QRPlus is nothing more than a simple QR code with a redirect link. 

You can generate a QR code for your website without paying for anything; it’s easy and quick. Below are a few QR code generator tools with features such as detailed analytics.

1. Bitly.com - It is a freemium link shortener tool that is widely recognized. You can short a URL and generate a QR code. However, you can’t change the destination link. You need to have a paid account.
2. Rebrandly.com - Just as with Bitly, you need to have a paid account to edit the destination URL.
3. Switchy.io - Switchy is a premium-only link shortener. Plans start from $39 per month.

Let me know if there is any other link shortener that allows users to change the destination link, offers click tracking, and has a free option.

Tip 1: I will recommend not using a link shortener within a QR code. If you need analytics of your QR code visitors, then simply add URL parameters to your website URL, and Google Analytics or any other website analytics service will show you how many visitors you got from those URL parameters.

Tip 2: If you need a feature to change the QR code destination URL, then install a free WordPress redirect plugin. If you don’t have a WordPress website, then try looking at the redirect option in whichever platform you are using.

Tip 3: Try a LinkinBio page, which you can update any time. This way you don’t need to change the destination URL of the QR code; simply change the content on the LinkinBio page.

Following are the features of QR code generator by Bookllo Publishing:

1. Customize QR code color and its background. I will recommend using a darker color for easy scanning reliability.
2. Add an icon to personalize the QR code. The icon can act as a call to action for your QR code.
3. Customize the icon color and its background, to make the icon stand out from the busy-looking QR code.

Below is an example of QR code generated by the tool.
