Stop Paying for QR Codes in 2026: I Built a Free, "Branded" Generator

As we approach 2026, I realized something annoying: most "Free QR Code Generators" are still stuck in the past. They let you create a code, but after 14 days, they break it and ask for a subscription.

I wanted to start the new year with a tool that solves this forever.

So, I built QR Master.

It is a Cyberpunk/Neon themed generator that creates Permanent QR Codes with a Custom Logo inside.

✨ Why I built this for 2026:

No Expiration: Unlike big companies, this tool generates static codes. They work forever.

AI Branding: It automatically inserts a "Neon" logo into the center of the code for a professional look.

Privacy First: No databases. No tracking. It runs entirely in the browser.

Single File: The entire app is just one index.html file.

🚀 Live Demo: You can try it here:

💻 How it works (The Code): I wanted to keep the tech stack simple and fast. I used vanilla HTML/JS and the QuickChart API to handle the complex image generation.

Here is the core function that places the logo inside the QR code without breaking it:

JavaScript

// The 2026 Logic: High Error Correction (H) allows the logo to exist
const logoUrl = "logo.png"; // Your custom logo goes here
const apiUrl = https://quickchart.io/qr?text=${input}&centerImageUrl=${logoUrl}&size=300&ecLevel=H;
I used ecLevel=H (High Error Correction) so that even with the logo covering the center, the data remains intact and scannable by any phone.

🔮 Future Plans: I am planning to add more neon color options and downloadable SVG support soon.

Let me know what you think! I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments.

Happy New Year in advance! 🎆
