Frequently asked questions
Is there a limit on how many times I can call it?
10 per hour on a free account, 50 per hour on Free+ or paid — shared with the check tools, tracked per API key.
Can I get a PNG instead of SVG?
The MCP tool returns SVG only. For PNG or other formats, use the QR Code Generator web tool, which supports exporting to multiple formats.
Is there an HTTP endpoint I can call directly, without MCP?
Yes — see the Free QR Code API, which the MCP tool itself calls under the hood, using the same API key.
