Question 1

How long does a QR code last?

Accepted Answer

Static QR codes (like those containing fixed text or URLs) last indefinitely. However, if the QR code leads to a website, the site must remain active for the code to be useful. Dynamic QR codes from paid services may expire or stop working if the subscription ends.

Question 2

Can I customize the look of my QR code?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our generator allows some customization like changing colors and adding a logo. However, be careful not to sacrifice scannability for style. Always test customized QR codes thoroughly, as excessive customization can make them difficult to scan.

Question 3

Do I need an internet connection to scan a QR code?

Accepted Answer

To scan a QR code, you only need a camera and a QR reader app (built into most modern smartphones). However, if the QR code contains a URL, you'll need an internet connection to visit the website after scanning.

Question 4

Can I track how many people scan my QR code?

Accepted Answer

Our basic generator doesn't include tracking. For analytics, you could use a URL shortener with tracking features (like Bitly) for the link in your QR code, or use paid dynamic QR code services that offer analytics.

Question 5

What's the difference between a barcode and a QR code?

Accepted Answer

Traditional barcodes are one-dimensional and can only store limited information (typically a numerical identifier). QR codes are two-dimensional and can store much more data, including text, URLs, contact information, and more. QR codes can also be scanned from any direction.
