Frequently asked questions
Do these QR codes expire?
No. The QR codes made here are static. They contain your data directly, so they never expire and need no account.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. The QR code is created in your browser. Only the small QR library file is downloaded.
Which file should I use for printing?
Use SVG, or the 1024 px PNG, for posters and print. Keep the dark color clearly darker than the background.
