Frequently Asked Questions

What types of content can I encode in a QR code?
You can encode URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS messages, WiFi credentials, contact information (vCard), and more. QR codes can store up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters, making them versatile for many types of data.
Do QR codes expire or stop working?
No, QR codes generated by our tool never expire. They contain the data directly and will work forever as long as the content they point to (like a website) remains accessible. Static QR codes have no dependencies on our service after generation.
What's the best size and format for printing QR codes?
For business cards, use at least 0.5 inches (1.3cm) square. For posters, 2-4 inches works well. Use PNG format for digital use and SVG for print materials that need to scale. Ensure good contrast between foreground and background colors for reliable scanning.
Can I customize the colors and appearance?
Yes, you can customize foreground and background colors to match your brand. However, maintain good contrast for reliable scanning - dark colors on light backgrounds work best. Avoid very light or very similar colors as they may cause scanning issues.
How do people scan QR codes?
Most smartphones have built-in QR code scanning in their camera apps. Users can also download dedicated QR scanner apps. Simply point the camera at the QR code and it will automatically detect and process the encoded information.
Is my data private when generating QR codes?
Absolutely. All QR code generation happens entirely in your browser - your data never leaves your device. We don't store, track, or analyze any content you encode. The QR codes are static and contain no tracking or analytics capabilities.
