โ FAQ
Q. What's the maximum data length for a QR code?
A. Up to roughly 3,000 characters, but shorter data scans more reliably. Use URL shorteners for long links.
Q. Can I create colored QR codes?
A. Currently only standard black-and-white QR codes are supported.
Q. Do QR codes expire?
A. The QR code itself never expires. However, if the URL it contains changes or goes offline, the code becomes useless. Use a redirect URL for content that might change.
Q. Can I use generated QR codes commercially?
A. Yes. Generated QR code images are free to use for any purpose โ print, web, apps, or packaging โ with no restrictions.
Q. Why won't my QR code scan?
A. Common causes include too much encoded data, a very small print size, or poor print resolution. Shorten the data, increase the image size, and ensure the print is at least 300 DPI.
