Our QR Code Generator is now for sale for $5. This desktop software allows you to create custom 2D barcodes (QR codes) that can be scanned with phones and other devices.
I think this is a great tool to start learning and experimenting with QR codes, but it’s not a toy, you can use this software to create QR codes for your business right now.
