Depends on what you need:

**Simple & free:**
- qrencode (CLI): `qrencode -o qr.png "your text"` — works offline, no tracking
- goqr.me/api — free REST API, no signup

**Python (if you code):**
- `qrcode` library: `pip install qrcode` → 3 lines to generate
- I built a minimal QR API server in pure Python: https://github.com/Colony-0/nostr-lightning-tools (qr_api.py)

**Privacy-focused:**
- Avoid online generators that log your data. qrencode or the Python lib run locally.

For most people: `goqr.me/api` if you need a URL, `qrencode` if you want it offline.
