Why this site exists
Creating a QR code should be straightforward. This site brings together browser-based tools for links, WiFi access, contact details, social profiles, batch printing and scanning. Static tools suit Australian small businesses and everyday users who want a download without creating an account. A separate free account is available for managed dynamic links.
Who operates it
Star Shop com operates QR Generator AU and CalcGST.au. Business details: Melbourne, VIC, Australia. ABN 83 443 122 821. These tools are independent services; we are not part of Google, Meta, Shopify, GS1 or an Australian government agency.
What is free
The public QR generator, scanner, batch generator and barcode generator are free to use. Static QR downloads do not have a provider-imposed scan limit or expiry date. Linked websites, third-party apps and documents must remain available. A free dynamic account also includes 10 editable links, pause and resume, and access to the QR designer and template studio. Scan tracking and team accounts are not included.
How we approach quality
We test payload formatting, export behaviour and QR decoding with automated checks, then inspect key browser workflows and responsive layouts. Real-world lighting, printers and phone cameras vary, so we ask users to test their final artwork. Read our editorial policy for how technical guidance is prepared.
Get in touch
Report a broken tool, unclear instruction or inaccurate guide through our contact page. Please describe the issue using a non-sensitive example rather than a real WiFi password, customer list or confidential document.
Designed around everyday tasks
A café needs a menu guests can open. A sole trader needs contact details that save correctly. An organiser needs the right code on the right sign. We organise tools around those jobs: direct links, embedded WiFi or contact information, printable templates, batch exports and managed destinations. A useful result is one that continues to work in the real setting, not simply an attractive preview.
Static tools and dynamic accounts
Use a static tool when you want a downloaded code containing the supplied information directly. Use a dynamic account when you need a place to edit the destination address after printing. These are different services with different dependencies. We explain the distinction on the relevant pages rather than describing every QR as editable or promising that every linked page will stay online.
Independent and transparent
The site has no paid plan or active advertising in this release. We do not claim an independent certification, government endorsement or a particular search ranking. References to Google, WhatsApp, Instagram or Shopify describe compatible destinations, not a commercial relationship. Australian operation does not mean all network or account data is stored only in Australia.
