Verdict
UnlimitedQRCodes.com is better for standalone QR codes and privacy. Canva is excellent for embedding QR codes inside design projects. But for standalone QR code generation — especially bulk, WiFi, or vCard codes — it requires a Canva account, processes data on Canva's servers, and lacks WiFi/vCard support. UnlimitedQRCodes.com generates any QR type with browser-side privacy and no account.

Canva pricing note: Canva's QR code generator is free with a Canva account but limited to URL QR codes with no bulk support.
Yes. Canva requires account registration to use its QR code generator. UnlimitedQRCodes.com requires no account — just open the site and generate your QR code in seconds with no registration, no email, and no personal information required.
No. Canva's QR code generator only supports URL QR codes. UnlimitedQRCodes.com supports four QR code types: URL, WiFi (encodes network SSID, password, and security protocol), vCard (digital business card), and plain text.
No. Canva has no bulk QR code generation feature. UnlimitedQRCodes.com supports bulk CSV upload — upload a spreadsheet with up to 30 URLs or contacts and download all codes as a labeled PDF grid or ZIP of PNG files, free.
Canva processes QR code generation on its servers, meaning your URLs pass through Canva's systems. UnlimitedQRCodes.com generates all QR codes in your browser — your URLs, WiFi passwords, and contact details are never transmitted to our servers.
100% free. No watermarks. No account. Browser-side privacy. Works better than Canva's free plan.
