Frequently asked questions
Does a generated QR code expire?
A static QR code that directly stores your text does not expire. A linked page can still move or go offline.
What is error correction?
It adds redundant data so a code may still scan when partly damaged. Higher levels create a denser code.
Can I encode sensitive information?
Avoid it. Anyone who scans a QR code can read its contents, so do not include passwords or private identifiers.
