Frequently Asked Questions

Is this QR code generator completely free?

Yes, 100% free. No account, no watermarks, no limits. Generate as many QR codes as you need.

Do my QR codes expire?

No. These are static QR codes — the data is baked directly into the image. They work forever as long as the destination (e.g. the URL) remains valid. We don't track or host your data.

Can I change the color of my QR code?

Yes. You can choose any foreground and background color. For best scan reliability, keep high contrast between the two — dark foreground on a light background works best. Avoid very similar shades.

What is error correction and what level should I use?

Error correction lets a QR code be scanned even if part of it is damaged or covered. Level M (15%) is suitable for most uses. Use H (30%) if you plan to add a logo over the QR code, or if it will be printed in rough conditions.

How large should I print my QR code?

A minimum print size of 2cm × 2cm (about 0.8 inches) is recommended for short scanning distances. For posters or billboards meant to be scanned from a distance, increase the size proportionally — a rule of thumb is 1cm per 10cm of scanning distance.

Is my data safe and private?

All QR code generation happens directly in your browser. Your data is never sent to our servers. We have no access to what you encode in your QR codes.

What file format can I download?

You can download your QR code as a PNG image at up to 512×512px. PNG is lossless and suitable for both print and digital use. For very large print sizes, download at 512px and upscale using a vector tool.
