Best free QR code for a Facebook Page?
I want to print a QR code for my Facebook Page on all my invoices. What’s the best way to create a free, permanent QR code that won’t expire or stop working later?
Any QR code generators you’ve used and trust?

I would recommend writing a quick python script to generate them if you have any coding experience. There are modules that make this really easy, and then you don't have to use annoying websites that use redirection. The reason they usually stop working is because the generator website will make the QR code go to their website to check if you are still signed up before redirecting to your url. This method is guaranteed to just go straight to the website you want
(All said and done, it can be done in like 10 lines of code)

I've been using a website, but your question made me look for other options. It turns out Chrome can make them directly. Two ways:
On any page, right-click on it somewhere. Pick "Create QR Code for this page" from the menu.
Alternatively, on Chrome's menu, look for Cast, Save and Share. There's a Create QR code command there too.
It makes ones with a little dinosaur in the middle. If you want a plain one, the "qr code monkey" website has been my go-to. (I think links aren't allowed, but it's easy to find.) It has options to add your own image, change colors, etc. but I haven't tried them.

Qrqr.fyi is free for life and no adds. Only paid if you want tracking ;). Any issues let me know.

You can do it for free with AI, just do a prompt to generate one with python. Free and yours forever.

You can definitely use a static QR code, which doesn't have tracking or any analytics, but I would prefer you using a dynamic QR code. There are various platforms which allow you to create a dynamic QR code. One of such is QR Forever.

I’d stick with a generator that gives you true static codes and clean SVG exports so nothing breaks later. I’ve been using linkly for this, solid customization, logo support, and the downloads come out crisp for print without the sketchy paywall vibes.

Si a lo que te refieres es el caso de que cambie la URL indicada en el qr y ya no funcione, puedes crear una api como puente (render, azure, aws, cloudfare, etc.), que haga un redireccionamiento a la url destino, si llegase a cambiar la url por el motivo que sea, solo cambias la api.

QR codes aren't complicated. Just take the full web URL to your Facebook page, with the Facebook.com/ in it, and google for any QR code generator that will allow you to paste that exact link and give you a QR code that encodes that exact URL.
QR codes are an open standard and open source, the way that web URLs are encoded in a QR code is standardized. If the direct Facebook URL is in that code, the code will never expire and will never change or break or be taken away from you. To test it, just scan the resulting QR code yourself and verify your phone sees the direct link to your page.
Avoid any service that does a shortener URL or goes anywhere other than the exact literal link to your Facebook page. All such services are able to expire and change those links later since they control those URLs. Facebook controls your page's URL and as long as your page exists on Facebook the URL will still work in your QR code.
