What can I encode in a QR code?

Our tool supports URLs, plain text, Wi-Fi credentials, vCard contacts, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS messages, and geographic coordinates.

What is error correction level?

Error correction determines how much of the QR code can be damaged or obscured while remaining scannable. Low (7%), Medium (15%), Quartile (25%), and High (30%). Higher levels produce more complex codes but are more resilient.

Can I add my logo to the QR code?

Yes. You can upload a small logo to be placed in the center of the QR code. The error correction level is automatically increased to compensate for the partially covered area.

What is the difference between PNG and SVG output?

PNG is a raster format best for web and digital use at a fixed resolution. SVG is a vector format that scales to any size without pixelation, making it ideal for print materials of any size.

How do I create a Wi-Fi QR code?

Select 'Wi-Fi' as the content type, enter your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type (WPA/WPA2 or open). The generated code will automatically connect scanned devices to your network.

Is there a limit on the amount of data?

QR codes can encode up to about 4,296 alphanumeric characters at the lowest error correction level. For best scannability, keep encoded data under 300 characters. Use URL shorteners for long URLs.

No. QR codes themselves never expire — they are simply encoded data. However, if the QR code links to a URL, the content at that URL could change or become unavailable.

Can I track how many times my QR code is scanned?

The QR code itself does not provide tracking. However, if you encode a URL with UTM parameters or use a link shortener with analytics (like Bitly), you can track scans through your analytics platform.
