Best Practices for Effective QR Codes

• Test Before You Print: Always scan your final QR code with multiple devices to ensure it works.
• Provide Context: Tell people what they'll get when they scan (e.g., "Scan for a 20% discount").
• Size Matters: Ensure the QR code is large enough for easy scanning—at least 2x2 cm (1x1 inch) for print.
• High Contrast: Use dark colors on a light background for maximum scannability.
• Leave Quiet Zone: Maintain a clear margin around the QR code so scanners can read it properly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the QR codes I create free forever?
A: Yes! All QR codes generated with our basic plan are completely free and do not expire. You can download and use them for personal or commercial projects.

Q: Can I edit the content of a QR code after creation?
A: With Static QR Codes, the content cannot be changed after generation—you would need to create a new one. For editable QR codes, you would need a Dynamic QR Code service (often paid), which allows you to update the destination URL without changing the QR code image.

Q: Will adding a logo or colors make my QR code unscannable?
A: Not if done correctly. Our tool automatically adjusts the error correction level when you customize your code to ensure it remains scannable. We recommend always testing the final version.

Q: What's the difference between PNG and SVG download formats?
A:

• PNG: A raster image format perfect for websites, social media, and digital use.
• SVG: A vector format that can be scaled to any size without quality loss—ideal for printing on large formats like banners and posters.

Q: Can I track how many times my QR code has been scanned?
A: Our free generator creates static QR codes, which are not trackable. For scan analytics, you would need a dynamic QR code service from a premium provider.
