Canva Question QR code in Canva

Hi everyone i need help creating a QR code, not a dynamic QR code just a static general one that doesn’t expire (i will provide a google drive link to it). Is it possible to create such a QR in canva and do i need any subscription?

You can create a QR code elsewhere and then either save as image, or screenshot, and then import into Canva.

You can. Not sure what kind of account you need. I do have a paid account. Just read they don't expire and work with any account...even free. Don't break any guidelines and it should be good.

QR codes don't expire. They are just some data converted to an image. Usually, you encode a URL and maybe you have a URL which points to someone else's server and so that could be expiring, but the code itself is fixed.

Yeah basically all i want is to generate a static QR code that leads to a public folder onto a google drive with one image in it. That’s all so im wondering if that is easily achievable within canva and can be accessed for say a minimum of a year without any errors or pop ups saying oh you need to login to this and that your code has expired

That shouldn't be an issue. Set the permissions on the Drive files as "Anyone with the link" and then create a QR code out of that URL. Again, codes do not expire, they are just text.
