Frequently Asked Questions

Do QR codes expire?

Static QR codes (which this tool generates) never expire. The data is encoded directly in the pattern, so it works forever.

What can I put in a QR code?

URLs, plain text, WiFi credentials, email addresses, phone numbers, and more. Each type triggers different actions when scanned.

What's the difference between PNG and SVG output?

PNG is a raster image — great for digital use and printing at a fixed size. SVG is a vector image — it scales to any size without losing quality, ideal for large format printing.

Can I customize the colors?

The tool generates standard black-and-white QR codes for maximum scan reliability. Always ensure high contrast between the code and background.

How do I scan a QR code?

Most modern phones have QR scanning built into the camera app. Just point your camera at the code and tap the notification that appears.
