📱 What is a QR Code?

QR (Quick Response) Code is a two-dimensional barcode that can store various types of information - URLs, text, contact details, phone numbers, email addresses, Wi-Fi credentials, and more. When scanned with a smartphone camera, the QR code instantly displays the encoded information.

QR codes are widely used for marketing, business cards, product packaging, event tickets, contactless menus, and digital payments. They provide a fast, contactless way to share information.

Ensure high contrast (dark code on light background) for easy scanning
Size appropriately - larger codes scan from farther distances

Avoid putting QR codes on curved surfaces where distortion occurs
Include a call-to-action text near the QR code (e.g., "Scan to visit our website")
Use URL shorteners for long web addresses to create simpler QR codes

Do QR codes expire?

No, static QR codes (like those generated here) never expire. They contain the data directly encoded - no external server or tracking. They will work forever as long as the code is readable.

What is the maximum text length for a QR code?

A standard QR code can hold up to 4,296 characters (approx 3KB of data). Longer text results in denser codes that may be harder to scan. For URLs, use a shortener for best results.
