ShotsLeft Free QR Code Generator
Paste a link, get a QR code — free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Codes are static, so they never expire, and you can download a print-ready PNG or a vector SVG for table cards, invites, and event signs.
PNG is 1024×1024 — enough for table cards and posters. SVG scales to any size for professional printing.

Using QR Codes at Weddings and Events
The most common event use is photo collection: put a code on every table, guests scan it, and their photos land in one shared album instead of scattered camera rolls. Our guide to QR codes for wedding pictures covers sizing, placement, and wording; if you want each guest to shoot a limited, intentional set of photos, that's what ShotsLeft does — every guest becomes one disposable camera inside the same event.
Beyond photos, event hosts print QR codes for digital menus, RSVP forms, gift registries, and playlists. One rule covers them all: big enough to scan from where people stand, white margin around the pattern, and a test scan before you print fifty copies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this QR code generator really free? +
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no hidden paid tier. Type your link, download the file, and use it anywhere: wedding table cards, party invites, event signs, menus, or business materials. We built it as a free tool for event hosts.
Do QR codes made here expire? +
No. This tool generates static QR codes: your link is encoded directly into the pattern itself, with no redirect service in between. The code keeps working as long as the destination link works — print it on invitations months ahead without worrying about an expiry date.
What file formats can I download? +
PNG at 1024×1024 pixels — sharp enough for table cards, posters, and most print jobs — and SVG, a vector format that scales to any size without quality loss. For professional printing or large signage, hand the SVG to your printer; for quick home printing, PNG is fine.
How big should a printed QR code be? +
Keep the printed code at least 1 × 1 inch (2.5 × 2.5 cm), and larger if guests will scan from farther away — a rough rule is scan distance divided by ten. Leave a white margin around the pattern, keep strong contrast, and always test-scan a printed sample before producing the full batch.
Can I use a QR code to collect wedding photos from guests? +
Yes — that is one of the most popular uses. Print a QR code on table cards, guests scan it, join your event, and every photo lands in one shared album. See our guide to QR codes for wedding pictures for placement ideas, or how ShotsLeft turns each guest into a disposable camera.
