Frequently Asked Questions

How long do QR codes last?

QR codes don't expire. The code itself is permanent, but the destination URL may change or break if not maintained. Use short, stable URLs for longevity.

Can I customize the appearance of my QR code?

This basic generator creates standard black and white codes. For custom colors and logos, use advanced generators like GoQR or QR Server.

What's the maximum amount of data a QR code can hold?

QR codes can hold up to 4,296 characters. Longer content requires larger QR codes, making them harder to scan. Keep content concise.

Can QR codes work without internet?

QR codes work without internet, but if they link to a URL, internet is needed to access the destination. Text and contact QR codes work offline.

How do I track QR code scans?

Use a URL shortener service like Bit.ly or create analytics-enabled landing pages to track scans and user behavior.
