How do I create a QR code for free?

With Bitsbender, simply select your QR code type (URL, vCard, WiFi, etc.), enter your content, customize with your logo and brand colors, then download in PNG, SVG, PDF, or EPS format. No signup or credit card required.

Can I add my logo to a QR code?

Yes! Bitsbender lets you embed your brand logo directly into the QR code. High error correction (up to 30%) ensures the code remains scannable even with a logo overlay. You can also customize dot shapes, eye shapes, and colors to match your brand identity.

What is a dynamic QR code?

A dynamic QR code allows you to change the destination URL after the code has been printed. Unlike static QR codes, dynamic codes use a short redirect URL, giving you complete flexibility and scan analytics.

Can I change the destination of a QR code after printing?

Yes! With dynamic QR codes from Bitsbender, you can change where the code points at any time without reprinting your posters, labels, or business cards.

Static QR codes never expire — they work as long as the encoded content exists. Dynamic QR codes from Bitsbender remain active as long as your account is in good standing.

How do I track QR code scans?

Bitsbender provides a real-time analytics dashboard for dynamic QR codes. You can track total scans, unique visitors, geographic locations, device types, operating systems, and scan times.

What formats can I download QR codes in?

Bitsbender supports PNG (up to 4096px for digital use), SVG (infinite vector scalability for print), PDF (document embedding), and EPS (professional printing).

Can I create QR codes in bulk?

Yes! Bitsbender supports bulk QR code generation. Upload a CSV or Excel file with your data, select the column for QR content, and generate hundreds of unique QR codes at once as a ZIP file.

Do you support NFC Tag Writing (WebNFC)?

Yes! Bitsbender includes a native WebNFC Tag Bridge. You can program dynamic redirection links or campaign URLs directly to physical NFC tags or cards straight from your Google Chrome or Edge browser on Android.

Is Bitsbender a better alternative to Bitly?

Bitsbender offers advanced AI-powered Smart Pages, privacy-first local QR generation, and built-in business operating tools (like Queueing and Appointments) that Bitly lacks or gates behind enterprise tiers, making it a highly compelling alternative.

How does Bitsbender compare with Bitly in pricing?

Bitsbender provides unlimited static scans and robust free-tier AI generation, offering enterprise-grade business tools at a fraction of the legacy cost of Bitly.
