A Canva QR code generator alternative for codes beyond a plain URL
Canva's QR code generator is convenient if you are already designing a flyer in Canva: you create the code inside the editor and it lands straight on the page. Canva's page says it supports static and dynamic codes, and that dynamic destinations can be edited. It also says codes made on Free, Pro and Education plans carry a Canva logo by default. QRPebble is a standalone generator. Codes have no third-party logo, there are 37 dedicated QR forms including Wi-Fi, vCard and payment links, and there are 8 barcode types. You download PNG or SVG and place the file in Canva or any other design tool.
