Frequently Asked Questions

Do the generated QR codes expire?

No. These are static QR codes — the content is encoded directly into the image, so they never expire and have no scan limits or tracking.

Is my data uploaded?

No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser; the URL or text you enter is never sent to a server.

What is the error-correction level?

The level (L/M/Q/H) controls how much of the code can be damaged or obscured while still scanning. Higher is more robust but denser. M is a good default.
