Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about QR codes and our generator

What is a QR code?

QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that stores information readable by smartphones and QR scanners. Invented in 1994 by Denso Wave, QR codes can store URLs, text, contact information, WiFi credentials, and much more. They work by encoding data into a pattern of black squares on a white background.

How do I scan a QR code?

Modern smartphones can scan QR codes natively. On iOS (iPhone), simply open the Camera app and point it at the QR code - a notification will appear with the link. On Android, use the Camera app or Google Lens. No special app is required on most modern devices.

Are QR codes free to use?

Yes! QR codes are completely free to create and use. Our generator allows unlimited QR code creation with no registration, no watermarks, and no hidden fees. You can use generated QR codes for both personal and commercial projects without any restrictions.

Do QR codes expire?

Static QR codes (like ours) never expire. The information is encoded directly in the code itself, so it will work forever as long as the destination (like a website) remains active. However, if you change your website URL, you'll need to generate a new QR code.

Can I edit a QR code after creating it?

Static QR codes (like the ones we generate) cannot be edited after creation because the data is permanently encoded. If you need to change the information, you'll need to create a new QR code. For editable QR codes, you would need dynamic QR codes with a redirect service.

What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

Static QR codes contain the actual data (URL, text, etc.) encoded directly - they're permanent and don't require an internet connection to be generated. Dynamic QR codes contain a short URL that redirects to your content, allowing you to change the destination later and track scans, but they require a paid service.

What file format should I use?

Use PNG for digital use (websites, emails, presentations), SVG for editing in design software and infinite scalability, and PDF for professional printing. PNG is the most universal format and works everywhere.

What size should my QR code be?

For printing, QR codes should be at least 2×2 cm (0.8×0.8 inches) to ensure reliable scanning. For business cards, 2.5×2.5 cm works well. For posters and billboards, make them proportionally larger - a good rule is that the QR code should be scannable from the viewing distance divided by 10.

How much data can a QR code hold?

A QR code can store up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters, 7,089 numeric characters, or 2,953 bytes of binary data. However, more data means a more complex code that's harder to scan. For best results, keep URLs under 200 characters and text under 500 characters.

Can I use a QR code offline?

Yes! QR codes containing plain text, WiFi credentials, or contact information (vCard) work completely offline. However, QR codes linking to websites require an internet connection to access the destination content after scanning.

Can I add a logo to my QR code?

Yes! Our generator supports adding custom logos to the center of your QR code. Thanks to QR code error correction, you can cover up to 30% of the code with a logo and it will still scan correctly. For best results, use a simple logo with good contrast.

Will my custom QR code still scan?

Yes! As long as you maintain sufficient contrast between the foreground and background colors, and don't over-customize the corner elements, your QR code will scan perfectly. We recommend testing your QR code with multiple devices before printing in large quantities.

What colors work best for QR codes?

Dark colors on light backgrounds work best. Classic black on white offers the highest contrast and most reliable scanning. Avoid light colors on dark backgrounds, low-contrast combinations, or inverting the QR code (white on black), as these can reduce scan reliability.

Can I use QR codes for commercial purposes?

Absolutely! All QR codes generated with our tool are free to use for any purpose, including commercial projects. Use them on products, marketing materials, business cards, packaging, websites, or anywhere else. No attribution required, no restrictions.

How can I track QR code scans?

For static QR codes, create a unique tracking URL using services like Google Analytics UTM parameters (e.g., yoursite.com?utm_source=qr_code). This lets you track scans in your analytics dashboard. For advanced tracking with scan locations and device info, you'd need dynamic QR codes with a paid service.
