Good to know
A simple QR code with sensible safeguards
Your QR image is generated only when you request it. It remains available for five minutes so you can preview and download it, then the temporary file expires automatically.
What can I put in a QR code?
You can encode a website address or plain text up to 1,200 bytes. Shorter content usually produces a simpler code that is easier to scan.
What image format do I receive?
The download is a 1024×1024 pixel PNG with the foreground and background colors you selected.
How do I make it easy to scan?
Keep the QR code darker than its background, preserve the clear margin around it, and test the finished image before publishing or printing it.
