Question 1

Is this QR code generator really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — completely free. No signup, no trial, no credit card. We make money from our paid event photo platform, so the QR generator stays free as a way for people to discover Fotify. Use it as much as you want, even for commercial projects.

Question 2

Do I need to sign up or create an account?

Accepted Answer

No. You can create, customize, and download QR codes without entering an email or creating an account. We only ask you to sign up if you want to use our event photo sharing platform — but the QR generator itself is fully usable without it.

Question 3

Will my QR code expire?

Accepted Answer

Static QR codes (what we generate) never expire. The URL is baked directly into the QR pattern, so as long as the URL it points to stays online, the QR code keeps working — for years or decades.

Question 4

Will there be a Fotify watermark on my QR code?

Accepted Answer

No. The QR code you download has zero watermarks, branding, or hidden Fotify logos. It's 100% yours.

Question 5

Are there any scan limits?

Accepted Answer

No scan limits whatsoever. Static QR codes scan an unlimited number of times because they don't depend on our servers — the URL is encoded directly in the pattern.

Question 6

Can I add my logo to the QR code for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we're one of the few free QR generators that supports logo embedding. Upload a PNG or JPG and we'll position it in the center. We automatically increase the error correction level to keep the code scannable with the logo in place.

Question 7

What file formats can I download?

Accepted Answer

Three formats. PNG (raster image, perfect for embedding online or in documents), SVG (vector, scales infinitely without quality loss — best for designers and print), and PDF (full A4 print-ready flyer with your branding, headlines, and design).

Question 8

Can I use the QR code for commercial purposes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are no commercial-use restrictions. Use the QR codes you create for your business, products, weddings, events, packaging, or anything else.

Question 9

What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

Accepted Answer

Static QR codes encode the destination URL directly into the QR pattern — free forever, never expire, but the destination can't be changed after printing. Dynamic QR codes use a redirect, which means the destination can be edited later but typically requires a paid subscription. We make static QR codes.

Question 10

How does a QR code actually work?

Accepted Answer

QR (Quick Response) codes are 2D barcodes that encode data in a square pattern of black and white modules. When a phone camera scans the pattern, it decodes the data — usually a URL — and prompts the user to open it. They were invented in 1994 by Denso Wave for tracking car parts.

Question 11

How do I make a QR code for my wedding?

Accepted Answer

Create your wedding photo gallery on Fotify (free), copy the gallery link, paste it into our generator, customize colors and add your monogram or logo, then download the PDF flyer. Print and place at every table — guests scan and upload photos directly to your shared album.

Question 12

How do I make a QR code for a party?

Accepted Answer

Same flow as weddings — create a Fotify event for your party, generate a QR code linking to it, download the PNG or PDF flyer, and stick it on the wall, table cards, or event invitations. Guests scan to join your live photo gallery.

Question 13

What's the best size for printing a QR code?

Accepted Answer

Minimum 1 inch (2.5 cm) square for short scanning distances, 2 inches (5 cm) for table cards, and 4 inches (10 cm) or more for large posters and signage. Bigger is always more reliable. SVG export scales perfectly to any size.

Question 14

Why isn't my QR code scanning?

Accepted Answer

Top causes: (1) too small — increase size, (2) low contrast — make sure dots are darker than background, (3) damaged or distorted print, (4) URL too long — try shortening it, (5) too much logo coverage — try a smaller logo or higher error correction (Q or H).

Question 15

Can I edit the QR code after I download it?

Accepted Answer

Static QR codes can't be edited — the URL is baked in. If you need to change the destination, generate a new QR code. If you anticipate the destination changing, point your QR at a stable redirect (e.g. a bit.ly or your own domain) and edit that redirect instead.

Question 16

Can I track scans on my QR code?

Accepted Answer

Static QR codes don't track scans natively. If you need scan analytics, encode a URL with UTM parameters and track via Google Analytics, or use a redirect service that provides click data. For Fotify event QR codes, you can see photo upload stats inside your dashboard.

Question 17

Is the Fotify QR generator better than other free tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and it's not close. Most free tools give you a plain black square with maybe a color picker. We give you logo embedding, 5 themes, 10 decorative element styles, custom fonts, multiple layouts, frames, and PNG/SVG/PDF exports. All free, no watermark.

Question 18

How do I use my QR code with the Fotify event app?

Accepted Answer

Create your event in the Fotify dashboard, copy your gallery link, paste it into the QR generator, customize the flyer, and download. Print or display digitally. When guests scan, they go straight to your gallery and can upload photos with no app download required.

Question 19

Are these bridal shower games free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, everything here is free with no signup, including the printable bingo card generator.

Question 20

How does the bingo generator work?

Accepted Answer

Choose how many cards you need and click generate. Each card is randomized so no two guests have the same board, then print them all at once.

Question 21

Which games work for a virtual bridal shower?

Accepted Answer

Use the virtual-friendly filter to see games that work over video call, like bingo, He Said She Said, trivia, and word scramble.

Question 22

How many games should I plan for a bridal shower?

Accepted Answer

Three to four is usually plenty for a two to three hour shower. Mix one active game with a couple of sit-down games and a sentimental one.

Question 23

Are these invitation templates free?

Accepted Answer

Browsing and previewing is completely free with no signup. To customize a design and send it with RSVP tracking, you create a free Fotify event.

Question 24

Can I add my own names and colors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Type your names and date and pick a color palette to see every template update live with your details.

Question 25

What is the difference between a save the date and an invitation?

Accepted Answer

A save the date goes out months ahead with just the date and location so guests can plan. The formal invitation follows later with full details and RSVP.

Question 26

Can I track RSVPs from these templates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When you customize a template in Fotify, it connects to a full RSVP system with custom questions, dietary preferences, plus-ones, and CSV export.

Question 27

Is the wedding hashtag generator free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is completely free with no signup. Enter your names and get unlimited hashtag ideas instantly.

Question 28

How do I know if my wedding hashtag is already taken?

Accepted Answer

Search it on Instagram and TikTok before you commit. If lots of unrelated posts already use it, tweak it by adding your wedding year or a middle initial.

Question 29

What makes a good wedding hashtag?

Accepted Answer

Short, easy to spell, and clearly tied to your names. Capitalize each word so it reads cleanly, and avoid anything guests are likely to mistype.

Question 30

Where should I display my wedding hashtag?

Accepted Answer

On your invitations and save the dates, on signs at the venue, on table cards, and on a welcome board. Pair it with a Fotify QR code so guests can upload photos directly to your gallery too.

Question 31

Is the seating chart maker free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is completely free with no signup. Your chart saves automatically in your browser.

Question 32

Will I lose my seating chart if I close the tab?

Accepted Answer

No. Your guests, tables, and assignments save in your browser automatically, so they are still there when you come back on the same device.

Question 33

Can I print my seating chart?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Click print to get a clean, table-by-table layout you can hand to your planner or venue. You can also copy the chart as text.

Question 34

How do I handle RSVPs and meal choices alongside seating?

Accepted Answer

This tool focuses on seating. To connect seating with live RSVPs, meal preferences, and check-in, build your event in Fotify, where it all lives in one place.
