Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. How much text can I put in a QR code?
The longer the text, the more complex the QR code becomes, making it harder to scan. We recommend keeping it concise if possible.
Q2. Can I use the generated QR code permanently?
Yes, generated QR codes can be downloaded and used permanently. However, if it includes a URL, it will only work as long as that URL is valid.
Q3. The QR code doesn't work when I scan it.
Please check the following:
- Check if the QR code is damaged
- Check if the scanning app is up to date
- Check if you scanned in sufficient lighting
- Check if the QR code size is not too small
Q4. What size should I choose?
Choose according to your use:
- Business cards or small prints: 128x128
- General use: 256x256 (default)
- Posters or large prints: 512x512
Q5. What are the benefits of increasing the error correction level?
The higher the error correction level, the more the QR code can be read even if partially damaged or obscured. However, higher levels make the QR code more complex and may increase its size.
Q6. Should I choose PNG or SVG?
We recommend PNG for inserting into websites or documents, and SVG for prints or large sizes. SVG doesn't break when enlarged, making it suitable for high-quality printing.
Q7. Can I modify the generated QR code?
The generated QR code itself cannot be modified. If modification is needed, you must change the original text and generate a new QR code.
Useful Tips
- URL Shortening: When creating a QR code from a long URL, using a URL shortening service can create a cleaner QR code.
- Test Scanning: We recommend testing the scan on multiple devices before printing the QR code.
- Sufficient Size: When printing, print at a sufficient size to make scanning easy.
- Ensure Contrast: There must be sufficient contrast between the QR code and background for good scanning. Use black QR codes on white backgrounds, and white QR codes on black backgrounds.
