It was very simple to use; I needed two qr codes- one as a business card for myself and the other for my small business. They looked great, and I got some compliments on them! Thank you so much for making this available!

Fantastic, absolutely love it

I am using it as an out-of-office notifier on my door. My boss is so impressed that he wants to implement it across our whole department. I like the dynamic ability - I can change the line I use for my whereabouts multiple times per day without the QR code changing.

It's really easy to navigate around!

We like the options that are available. After some research, we've decided to cut our printing cost by placing our product story on a QR code rather than having the entire story on the back of the bag. We also like the ability to choose the size and style of the QR code.

Your platform is too good!

Thank you so much for your service. I am a digital marketer, and I have used your platform to create google review codes for my client. We are witnessing a phenomenal surge in reviews due to the ease of process established due to your QR code mechanism.

Your site provides an excellent experience!

As an exhibition curator, having my artist's artwork listing accessible to visitors through QRCodeChimp is a great experience. You can trust the artists to change the piece's name and resume every day, so having a dynamic QRCode was a must. QRCodeChimp brings exactly this and is Free! Thank you for your implementation.

Everything is perfect, I would recommend it to all my friends

I uploaded the QR Code created by your website in my smartwatch, and whenever someone asks me for my contact details, I extend my arm for them to scan the watch; people think this is one of the coolest ways they've seen to exchange contacts.
