Frequently asked questions

Does the QR code expire or stop working?

No. The QR code is generated directly from the text you entered, so it works for as long as that content stays valid (for example, a link still needs to remain live to open correctly).

What's the difference between PNG and SVG?

PNG is a fixed-resolution image, good for most uses like sharing or printing at a standard size. SVG is a vector format that stays sharp at any size, better if you plan to print it large.

Is there a limit to how much text I can encode?

QR codes can hold a few thousand characters, but shorter text (like a URL) scans more reliably and produces a simpler, easier-to-read code.

Will adding a logo stop the QR code from scanning?

No, as long as it stays reasonably sized. Adding a logo automatically switches to the QR standard's highest error-correction level, which is designed to keep codes scannable even with a meaningful portion (up to about 30%) obscured.

Can I use any colors?

Yes, but keep good contrast between the foreground and background. Very light foreground colors or very dark backgrounds can make the code hard for cameras to read reliably.
