The website QR Stuff is a free and open source option for creating QR Codes. You do not have to log in and create an account. With the free version, you can create an unlimited number of static QR Codes. A static QR Code cannot be edited once it is generated. If the link to a website should change, the static QR Code is useless and you would have to create a new one. A dynamic QR Code means that you can edit the existing QR Code that is already generated to link to the new website address.
If you want access to the full list of styling options or need to generate a large number of QR Codes in one session, select one of the paid versions of QR Stuff. Here are the options for free and paid accounts:
