Frequently asked questions
How much text fits?
About 2,000 English characters at most, but codes become very dense. Under 300 characters scans most reliably.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. These are static QR codes: the information is stored inside the pattern itself, so they keep working for as long as the code is printed or displayed. There is no tracking and no redirect service.
Why is the download button disabled?
The tool checks that the code can actually be scanned. If the colours have too little contrast, are inverted (light code on dark background), or the logo is too large, the check fails and you will see what to change.
How big should I print a QR code?
As a rule of thumb, make the code at least 2 × 2 cm, and larger if people will scan it from further away (about one tenth of the scanning distance). Use the SVG download for print so it stays sharp at any size.
