What content types can I encode in a QR code?

You can encode URLs, plain text, email addresses (mailto:), phone numbers (tel:), and SMS messages. URLs are the most common use case.

Is the QR code permanent?

Yes — a standard (static) QR code always points to the same content. If you need to change the destination later, you would need to reprint the QR code with the new URL.

What file formats can I download?

You can download your QR code as a high-resolution PNG (ideal for digital use) or as an SVG (scalable for print at any size without quality loss).

How large should a QR code be when printed?

A minimum of 2 × 2 cm (about 0.8 × 0.8 inches) is recommended for reliable scanning. Larger is always better — aim for at least 3 × 3 cm on printed materials.

Can I use the QR code commercially?

Yes. QR codes are an open standard and are free to use for any purpose — personal or commercial.

Do I need an app to scan the QR code I create?

No. All modern smartphones (iPhone and Android) can scan QR codes directly with the built-in camera app — no third-party scanner is required.

What is the maximum amount of data I can encode?

QR codes can hold up to about 4,296 alphanumeric characters. For best scan reliability, keep URLs short or use a URL shortener to stay under 100 characters.

Are my QR codes stored on your servers?

No. QR code generation happens entirely in your browser. No data is transmitted to our servers.
