Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QR code?
QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that can be scanned with smartphones to instantly access information, websites, contact details, or perform actions like making calls or sending messages.
Are these QR codes permanent?
Yes, these are static QR codes that never expire. However, if you change the URL or content they point to, you'll need to generate a new code. For dynamic codes that can be updated, consider paid QR services.
What size should I use for printing?
For business cards, use at least 300x300px. For flyers and posters, 400-600px. For billboards or large format, use extra large and ensure at least 1 inch (2.5cm) minimum size when printed for reliable scanning.
Do QR codes work in color?
Yes, but ensure high contrast between the code and background. Black on white works best. If using colors, keep the code dark and background light. Avoid low contrast combinations that cameras can't distinguish.
Can I add a logo to my QR code?
While our basic generator doesn't support logos, you can carefully overlay a small logo in the center using design software. Keep it under 30% of the code's area and test thoroughly, as it may affect scannability.
How do people scan QR codes?
Most modern smartphones (iPhone, Android) have built-in QR scanners in their camera apps. Users simply open their camera, point it at the code, and tap the notification that appears. No app download needed.
What's the difference between PNG and SVG?
PNG is a raster image format best for digital use (websites, emails, social media). SVG is a vector format that scales infinitely without losing quality, ideal for print materials and professional design work.
Can QR codes track scans?
Static QR codes (like ours) don't track scans. For analytics, you can use URL shorteners with tracking (like Bitly) or paid QR services. Alternatively, use unique URLs for different campaigns to track in Google Analytics.
Where should I place QR codes?
Place them where people have time to scan: product packaging, receipts, table tents, business cards, posters at eye level, print ads, and event materials. Avoid moving surfaces, tiny sizes, or awkward angles.
What shouldn't I do with QR codes?
Don't use low contrast colors, print too small, place on curved surfaces, use in low lighting, or link to non-mobile-friendly pages. Always test your QR code with multiple devices before mass printing.
