📱 How Do QR Codes Work?

QR (Quick Response) codes are 2D barcodes that store data like URLs, text, or Wi-Fi credentials. When scanned by a smartphone camera, the device translates the pattern back into readable information, instantly opening websites or showing messages.

🔄 Static vs. Dynamic QR Codes

Static QR Codes (which we generate) encode the data directly into the image. They work forever and cannot be tracked or deactivated.

Dynamic QR Codes store a short link that redirects to your content. This allows tracking but requires a server (and often a subscription) to keep the link active.

QR Code FAQ

No. We generate static QR codes. The information is embedded directly into the patterns of the image itself. There is no intermediate server or redirection link, so as long as the image exists, the code will work perfectly. You don't need to worry about broken links or subscription cancellations stopping your codes from working.

Yes, absolutely. Our unique privacy-first technology processes your images securely within your own browser. When you upload an image to be decoded, it is never sent to our servers or any third party. This makes it safe to read QR codes from sensitive documents or personal photos.

You can encode almost any text-based data. The most common uses are URLs (website links), plain text messages, email addresses, phone numbers, or Wi-Fi network credentials. Keep in mind that the more data you add, the complex the QR code pattern becomes, which might be harder to scan at small sizes.

Common reasons include low contrast (ensure the foreground is dark and background is light), the code being too small for the amount of data it holds, or the image being blurry. Try increasing the size, using high-contrast colors (like black on white), or shortening the text/URL to simplify the pattern.

Yes! The QR codes you create with this tool are yours to use freely for any purpose, including commercial packaging, marketing materials, business cards, or websites. No attribution is required.
