A Free QR Tiger Alternative
QR Cake is a free QR Tiger alternative for dynamic QR codes. QR Tiger's free tier is limited, and like most paid QR platforms it stops resolving your codes if you cancel. On QR Cake, five dynamic codes are free, never expire, and keep redirecting whether or not you ever pay. Create one below in under a minute, no card required.

How it works
2
Swap the image
Download the PNG or SVG and replace the old code in your artwork. Printed items need one reprint; screens and web pages update immediately.
3
Change the destination any time
Repoint the code from the dashboard whenever you need to. The pattern never changes and never expires.
Common use cases
01
Individuals and small teams with a few codes who do not want a subscription just to keep printed codes alive.
02
Canva users who want dynamic codes inside their designs through the official QR Cake app rather than a separate workflow.
03
Businesses that print codes on long-lived items such as signage, packaging, and equipment labels, where a code that expires is a liability.
04
Anyone leaving a paid platform who wants the codes printed during that time to keep working after canceling.
What it is
For one person with a handful of codes, the differences are cost and permanence. QR Cake is free for up to five dynamic codes, and a code you print today keeps working even if you never open the dashboard again. Cancel a paid plan and you drop back to the free plan: every code keeps redirecting, with the short QR Cake page shown first.
Every QR Cake type becomes a dynamic code once saved: URLs, PDFs, files, images, videos, audio, vCards, link lists, events, review pages, and app download pages. Downloads come as PNG, SVG, JPEG, or WebP, and you can also make codes in the official Canva app, the Adobe Express add-on, or the Chrome extension.
QR Tiger suits a different user. It offers bulk generation from a CSV file for marketers producing codes at volume, plus more eye-shape and frame options. If you make hundreds of codes a month, that is a good reason to stay. If you make a few and want them to stay free, QR Cake is the simpler choice.
Best practices
- Recreate codes before canceling the old plan, so nothing printed goes dead between the two.
- Save each code before you download it. Only saved codes are dynamic; an unsaved download is static and cannot be redirected.
- If you relied on scan reports, pick Pro or Business from the start. Scan analytics are not included on the free or Basic plans.
Limitations to know before you print
- QR Cake has no bulk generator or spreadsheet import. Codes are made one at a time in the editor or the Canva and Adobe Express apps. The REST API can create them from a script, but that takes a developer, so producing hundreds from a spreadsheet is a reason to stay on a platform built for bulk.
- The designer covers colors, gradients, dot and eye styles, a logo in the middle, and four frame styles. QR Tiger offers more eye shapes and frame designs.
- The free plan shows a short QR Cake page before redirecting; removing it needs a paid plan, from $2.99 a month.

What it is
QR Cake is a dynamic QR code generator with a free plan that stays free: five dynamic codes, unlimited scans, destinations you can change after printing, and no expiration. Paid plans from $2.99 a month remove the short ad page the free plan shows before redirecting. Basic and higher raise the code limit, and Pro and Business add scan analytics.

Create a free dynamic QR codeFrequently asked questions
Is QR Tiger free?+
QR Tiger has a free tier, but it is limited: dynamic codes and features are restricted, and full use needs a paid plan. QR Cake's free plan includes five dynamic QR codes with unlimited scans and no expiration, and needs no card. Each scan on the free plan shows a short QR Cake page first.
What happens to my QR Tiger codes if I cancel?+
Your dynamic QR Tiger codes stop working. Like most paid QR platforms, QR Tiger only resolves dynamic codes while you are subscribed, so every printed copy goes dead when the plan ends. On QR Cake, canceling moves you back to the free plan and every code keeps redirecting.
Can I transfer my QR Tiger codes to QR Cake?+
No, not the printed codes. A dynamic QR Tiger code holds a short link that only QR Tiger's servers resolve, so it cannot be moved to another provider. Recreate each code in QR Cake with the same destination, replace the image in your artwork, and reprint once. After that, changing the destination needs no reprint.
Does QR Cake do bulk QR code generation?+
No. QR Cake has no bulk generator and no CSV or spreadsheet import. Codes are made one at a time in the editor or the Canva and Adobe Express apps, or by a developer's script through the REST API. If you need hundreds of codes from a spreadsheet, a platform with bulk tools is the better fit.
How much does QR Cake cost?+
QR Cake is free for up to five dynamic codes, and paid plans start at $2.99 a month. Every paid plan removes the short page shown before each redirect, and Basic and higher plans raise the code limit. Pro and Business also add scan analytics: scans over time, countries, devices, and busiest hours. Every paid plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
