Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QR code?
A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that can store various types of data including URLs, text, WiFi credentials, contact information, and more. When scanned with a smartphone camera or QR reader app, the encoded information is instantly accessible.
What types of content can I encode in a QR code?
Our generator supports multiple content types: URLs (website links), plain text, WiFi network credentials (for easy connection sharing), email addresses, phone numbers, and vCard contact information. Each type is formatted correctly for maximum compatibility with QR readers.
What is error correction in QR codes?
Error correction allows QR codes to remain readable even when partially damaged or obscured. Our generator offers four levels: Low (~7% recovery), Medium (~15%), Quartile (~25%), and High (~30%). Higher error correction creates denser codes but improves reliability.
What size should I make my QR code?
The ideal size depends on how the QR code will be used. For print materials, ensure the code is at least 2cm x 2cm. For digital displays, 256px or larger is recommended. Our generator lets you choose sizes from 128px to 512px, and downloads are generated at higher resolution.
Can I customize the colors of my QR code?
Yes! You can customize both the foreground (the dark modules) and background colors. However, ensure there is sufficient contrast between colors for reliable scanning. Dark foreground on light background works best.
Are the QR codes generated for free?
Yes, our QR code generator is completely free with no limitations. You can generate unlimited QR codes, download them in PNG or SVG format, and use them for personal or commercial purposes without attribution.
