Question 1

What can I put in the QR code?

Accepted Answer

Any text: a URL, plain words, an email, a phone number, or a Wi-Fi string. Capacity depends on length and error correction.

Question 2

What is error correction?

Accepted Answer

It lets a damaged print still scan. Higher levels recover more and make a denser code.

Question 3

Is my data uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. The PNG is drawn in the browser.

Question 4

What size should I download?

Accepted Answer

256px for screens. 512px for print. Test a scan at the real size.

Question 5

Can I add a logo in the middle?

Accepted Answer

No. This page does not embed logos. Use High error correction if you will overlay a mark yourself.

Does this track scans?

No. There is no short link and no dashboard.

Question 7

Can I make a vCard?

Accepted Answer

You can paste vCard text. There is no separate contact form.

QR or barcode?

QR for URLs and phone cameras. Barcode for SKUs and 1D scanners.

Question 9

What file do I get?

Why won't it scan?

Question 11

Is there a scan limit?
