About StashKit
StashKit is a QR code generator built around the idea that a printed code should keep working. Users pick from ten code types, including website, PDF, Wi-Fi, contact card, email, call, SMS, WhatsApp and social profiles, then customize colors, pattern, frame, label and logo, and download a print-ready PNG, SVG or PDF. A free builder lets visitors try a code without an account.
Codes for websites and PDFs go through a StashKit short link, so the destination can be changed later without reprinting. The same trackable link also works on its own in a bio, email signature, SMS campaign or ad. Every scan is logged with its device type, browser, operating system and country, and the log can be filtered by period and exported to CSV. All codes live in one workspace where they can be searched, paused, duplicated or deleted. The site says it is free forever with no credit card, and a pricing page lists paid plans.
