Frequently Asked Questions
What can I encode in a QR code?
QR codes can contain URLs, plain text, phone numbers, email addresses, WiFi credentials, contact information (vCard), and more. Most commonly, they're used to share website links that people can quickly scan and visit.
What error correction level should I use?
Use Low (L) for digital displays where the code will be pristine. Use Medium (M) for most general purposes. Use High (H) for codes that will be printed on uneven surfaces, used outdoors, or where partial damage is likely.
What size should I generate for printing?
For business cards or small prints, use 256px. For posters or larger materials, use 512px or higher. Remember: QR codes can be scaled up without quality loss, but ensure sufficient size for scanning distance (minimum 2cm x 2cm recommended).
Do QR codes expire?
No! Static QR codes (like these) never expire. The data is embedded directly in the code. However, if your QR code links to a URL, ensure that URL stays active for as long as you want the QR code to work.
