Frequently Asked Questions

What can I put in a QR code?

QR codes can encode URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, Wi-Fi network credentials, vCards (contact info), calendar events, and more. The most common use is encoding website URLs.

What is the maximum data capacity of a QR code?

A QR code can hold up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters or 7,089 numeric characters. However, more data means a denser QR code that's harder to scan. Keep content short for best scanning reliability.

Can I customize the colors of a QR code?

Yes. This tool lets you customize the foreground and background colors. However, ensure high contrast between foreground and background for reliable scanning. Dark foreground on light background works best.

Do QR codes expire?

Static QR codes (like those generated by this tool) never expire — they encode data directly. Dynamic QR codes (offered by paid services) point to a redirect URL that can be changed or disabled.
