FAQ
Is my content uploaded?
No. The QR code is generated in your browser and nothing is sent to a server. The code is static, with no redirects or tracking, so it never expires.
Which error correction level should I use?
Higher levels keep the code readable when part of it is dirty or covered, but hold less data and make the pattern denser. M suits most uses; choose Q or H for printed codes that may get worn, or if you plan to place a logo in the middle.
Should I download PNG or SVG?
PNG is a bitmap that works everywhere: web pages, slides and chat apps. SVG is a vector image that stays sharp at any size, which is best for print and design work.
How much can a QR code hold?
From about 2,953 bytes (level L) down to 1,273 bytes (level H), counted in UTF-8. A Chinese character takes about 3 bytes. Shorter content gives a simpler code that is easier to scan.
Can I change the colors?
Yes, but keep a dark pattern on a light background with enough contrast. The tool warns you about low contrast or inverted colors; always test-scan with a phone before printing.
What is the margin?
A QR code needs a blank border (the quiet zone) so scanners can find its edges. The standard recommends 4 modules; you can reduce it if the image will already have white space around it.
