Frequently Asked Questions

What types of content can I encode in a QR code?

You can encode URLs, plain text, phone numbers, email addresses, SMS messages, contact information (vCard), Wi-Fi credentials, and geographic coordinates. Our generator supports all standard QR code data types.

What's the best size for a QR code?

For digital use, 200-400 pixels works well. For print, ensure the QR code is at least 2x2 cm (0.8x0.8 inches). Larger sizes with higher error correction are better for materials that might get damaged.

What is error correction and which level should I use?

Error correction allows QR codes to be scanned even if partially damaged. Use Low (L) for simple applications, Medium (M) for general use, Quartile (Q) for printed materials, and High (H) for critical applications or poor conditions.

Can I customize the colors of my QR code?

While our basic generator creates standard black-and-white QR codes, custom colors can affect scannability. Always ensure high contrast between foreground and background colors for reliable scanning.

Are the QR codes I generate stored anywhere?

No, all QR code generation happens locally in your browser. We don't store your data on our servers, ensuring complete privacy and security for your content.

Why is my QR code not scanning properly?

Common issues include insufficient size, low contrast, damage to the code, or too much data encoded. Try increasing the size, using higher error correction, or shortening the content.

Can I generate QR codes for commercial use?

Yes, all QR codes generated with our free tool can be used for personal and commercial purposes without any restrictions or attribution required.
