What’s in the code

Options

How much of the code can be damaged and still scan. Higher levels make a denser code.

Scanners need light space around the code. Keep the standard margin unless you’ll leave space around it yourself.

What you type stays on this device. Nothing is uploaded.

  3. Download the code as a PNG for documents and websites, or as an SVG for print.

Questions

Is what I put in the QR code sent anywhere?

No. The code is made in your browser on this device, so your links, Wi-Fi password and contact details are never uploaded or stored.

Do these QR codes expire?

No. The code holds your link or text itself, not a redirect through our servers, so it works for as long as the link does. There are no scan limits and no tracking.

Which error correction level should I choose?

Medium suits most uses. Choose High if the code may get scratched or dirty, or if you’ll put a small logo over the middle. Higher levels make a denser code, so print it a little larger.

Why won’t my QR code scan?

Most problems come from low contrast, a light code on a dark background, or no margin around the code. Use a dark code on a light background, keep the margin, and print it at least 2 cm (about 1 inch) wide.
