Frequently Asked Questions
What can I encode in a QR code?
You can encode any text including URLs, plain text, email addresses (mailto:), phone numbers (tel:), WiFi credentials, and more. The QR code will contain the exact text you enter.
What are the error correction levels?
Error correction allows a QR code to be read even if partially damaged. Level L recovers 7% damage, M recovers 15%, Q recovers 25%, and H recovers 30%. Higher levels create denser codes but are more reliable.
Which format should I download - PNG or SVG?
Use PNG for digital use (websites, emails, social media) where you know the display size. Use SVG for print materials or when you need to scale the QR code to any size without losing quality.
Can I customize the colors of my QR code?
Yes! You can change both the foreground (dark modules) and background colors. For best scanning reliability, maintain high contrast between the two colors.
Is there a limit to how much text I can encode?
QR codes can store up to about 3,000 alphanumeric characters, but longer content creates denser codes that may be harder to scan. For URLs, we recommend using URL shorteners for very long links.
Is this QR code generator free?
Yes! Our QR code generator is 100% free with no signup required. All processing happens locally in your browser - your data never leaves your device.
