Frequently asked questions

Do these QR codes expire?

No. The QR code contains your text or link directly, not a redirect through our service, so it keeps working as long as the destination exists.

How much information can a QR code hold?

Up to a few thousand characters, but shorter content creates simpler codes that scan more reliably. For long links, consider shortening the URL first.

What size should a printed QR code be?

A common rule is at least 2 × 2 cm (about 0.8 inches) for close scanning, and larger for posters viewed from a distance — roughly one tenth of the scanning distance. Always test before printing.

Is the content of my QR code tracked?

No. Codes are generated in your browser and scans go straight to your content, with no tracking by us.
