Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the QR code? ▼
Yes. You can adjust the output size in pixels, choose the error correction level (Low, Medium, Quartile, or High), and set custom foreground and background colors to match your brand. Higher error correction allows the QR code to be scanned correctly even if part of it is damaged, dirty, or obscured - useful for printed materials, product labels, and outdoor signage. Lower error correction produces a simpler, less dense QR code that scans faster in ideal conditions.
What can I encode in a QR code? ▼
QR codes can contain any text data up to a few thousand characters. Common uses include website URLs, plain text messages, phone numbers (formatted as tel:+1234567890), email addresses, geographic coordinates, Wi-Fi network credentials, contact card data (vCard format), and calendar events. The QR code is generated and updated in real time as you type, so you can immediately see how your data affects the density and complexity of the code.
What format is the downloaded QR code? ▼
QR codes download as PNG image files, which is the most universally compatible raster format for both digital and print use. PNG supports transparency (you can set a transparent background if needed) and is losslessly compressed, meaning the sharp edges of the QR code modules are preserved perfectly - essential for reliable scanning. For vector output suitable for professional printing at any size, consider using an SVG-based QR tool.
Is the QR code generated locally? ▼
Yes. QR codes are generated entirely in your browser using the qrcode.js library. Your input text is never sent to any server during normal operation. There is a rare fallback to an external API if the JavaScript library fails to load for any reason - in that case, a notice is shown. For privacy-sensitive data like Wi-Fi passwords or internal URLs, the local generation ensures your data stays on your device.
