Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QR code?
A QR (Quick Response) code is a type of matrix barcode that can store information like URLs, text, contact details, and more. It can be scanned using a smartphone camera or QR code reader app.
Are the QR codes free to use?
Yes! All QR codes generated by this tool are completely free to use for personal and commercial purposes. There are no limitations or watermarks.
Do QR codes expire?
Static QR codes (like the ones generated here) never expire. They contain the information directly and will work forever. However, if you link to a URL, the QR code will stop working if that URL becomes unavailable.
What size should I make my QR code?
For print materials, QR codes should be at least 2cm x 2cm (0.8" x 0.8"). For digital use, 300x300 pixels is usually sufficient. Larger codes are easier to scan from a distance.
Can I customize the QR code design?
This basic generator creates standard black and white QR codes. For custom colors, logos, or designs, you can edit the downloaded image in graphic design software while maintaining the QR code's scannability.
How do I scan a QR code?
Most modern smartphones can scan QR codes directly with the camera app. Simply open your camera, point it at the QR code, and tap the notification that appears. Alternatively, use a dedicated QR code scanner app.
