A scannable QR symbol that stores the entered data

A QR code stores text, a URL or another supported string in a square pattern that compatible scanner apps can decode. It is useful on posters, cards, menus and packaging because the reader does not have to type the content. Scanning behavior depends on the device, software, contrast, print quality and physical size, so test the final code in its real setting.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a limit to how much text I can encode?

Capacity depends on the data type and QR version, but using thousands of characters creates a dense symbol that is harder to print and scan. A short URL is usually more reliable.

Do QR codes expire?

The static QR image itself has no expiration date. A URL encoded inside it can still stop working, change ownership or lead to different content later.

Is what I type sent to a server?

No. JavaScript creates the QR code in your browser from the entered content.

Can I change the color of the QR code?

Yes. Keep substantial contrast between the modules and background, preserve the quiet zone and test both screen and printed versions before distribution.
