FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about QR codes and this tool.

Yes, completely free — no hidden fees, no subscription tiers, no sign-up, and absolutely no watermarks on downloaded images. We believe essential developer tools should be free.

Absolutely. All QR code generation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No content — not your URLs, passwords, emails, or contacts — is ever sent to any server. Close the tab and it's gone.

Never. Static QR codes — like the ones generated here — permanently encode the content you entered at creation. There's no server dependency, no domain redirect, and no expiry date. They work as long as the linked resource itself exists.

Error correction allows a QR code to be scanned even when partially damaged or obscured. L (7%) creates the smallest/simplest code. M (15%) is good for most digital use. Q (25%) is ideal when you plan to print. H (30%) is best for harsh conditions or if you want to overlay a logo.

For print, we recommend generating at 512×512 px and using a minimum printed size of 2×2 cm. For large-format prints (posters, banners), the general rule is 1mm of QR code size per 10cm of scanning distance.

Static QR codes permanently encode their content — you cannot change the destination after creation without generating a new code. If you need editable destination URLs, you'd need a "dynamic QR" service (not offered here, as those require accounts and servers).

Yes, provided there is sufficient contrast between the foreground and background colors. High contrast (e.g., dark on light or white on a very dark color) is required. Avoid similar shades or low-contrast combinations, as most scanners require a contrast ratio of at least 4:1.

Simply open the camera app on any modern iOS or Android device and point it at the QR code on screen — no third-party scanner app required. For testing dev environments, pair this tool with our Mobile Viewer emulator for a complete workflow.

Yes! Switch to the Wi-Fi tab, enter your SSID, password and security type. The QR code encodes the WIFI: protocol string — guests scan it and are prompted to join automatically on iOS 11+ and Android 10+.

Yes. QR codes generated here carry no license restrictions — use them on product packaging, business cards, print ads, digital campaigns, or anywhere else, commercially or personally, without attribution.
