Question 1

Is this QR code generator free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It's completely free, runs entirely in your browser, and doesn't require an account, download or payment.

Question 2

Do these QR codes expire or stop working?

Accepted Answer

No. Each QR code is static — the content you type is encoded directly into the pattern itself, with no redirect through a third-party server. It will keep working for as long as the destination it points to exists, with no account or subscription required to keep it active.

Question 3

Does this tool track scans or store my data?

Accepted Answer

No. The QR code is generated locally in your browser and nothing is sent to a server, so there is no scan tracking, analytics, or stored history of what you've generated.

Question 4

What's the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?

Accepted Answer

A static QR code, like the ones this tool makes, has its content baked directly into the pattern and works forever on its own. A dynamic QR code instead points to a short link on someone else's server, which then redirects to your real content — that lets the owner change the destination or track scans later, but it also means the code stops working if that service ever shuts down or the subscription lapses.

Question 5

How much text can I put in a QR code?

Accepted Answer

This generator supports up to roughly 130 characters at Low error correction, down to about 55 characters at High error correction, which comfortably covers URLs, Wi-Fi credentials, short messages and contact details.

Question 6

What error correction level should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Medium is a good default for most uses. Choose High if the code will be printed small, placed on a curved or textured surface, or have a logo placed over the middle, since higher error correction lets a QR code stay scannable even if part of it is damaged or obscured.

Question 7

Can I make a QR code for Wi-Fi, email or a phone number?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the quick-insert buttons to drop in a ready-made Wi-Fi, email, phone or SMS template, then edit the details before generating the code.
