I’M NEW TO QR CODES. WHAT SHOULD I KNOW?
Glad you asked! Here’s a few basics to get you started.
WHAT IS A QR CODE?
QR Code is a two-dimensional version of the barcode, typically made up of black
and white pixel patterns. Denso Wave, a Japanese subsidiary of the Toyota
supplier Denso, developed them for marking components in order to accelerate
logistics processes for their automobile production. Now, it has found its way
into mobile marketing with the widespread adoption of smartphones. "QR" stands
for "Quick Response", which refers to the instant access to the information
hidden in the Code.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING QR CODES?
They are gaining popularity because of their versatility. You can use them to
gather feedback to improve your products or services, increase customer
engagement with images or videos, or even promote your business via events and
coupons. All of these can be done with just a single scan!
Tell me more
HOW DO I SCAN QR CODES?
Depending on your device, you might already have a built-in QR Code reader or
scanner. Open the camera app on your mobile phone and hold it over a Code for a
few seconds until a notification pops up. If this doesn’t happen, check your
settings and see if QR Code scanning is enabled. Still not working? Don’t worry,
all you have to do now is install third-party QR Code readers from your app
stores.

BASICS
WHAT IS A QR CODE GENERATOR?
It is a niche tool that is used to generate different types of QR Codes.
Depending on your purpose, you can use our generator to create QR Codes to open
a website, view a PDF file, listen to music, watch Youtube videos, store image
files, connect to a WiFi network, and much more. Explore the different types
here.
ARE QR CODES FREE?
All of our Static QR Codes are free. This includes URL, vCard, Plain text,
Email, SMS, Twitter, WiFi, and Bitcoin. Once created, they are yours forever.
The only drawback with these types is that you won’t be able to edit the
content, so be sure to always test and make sure they work before printing.
CAN I USE THE GENERATED QR CODES FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES?
Absolutely!
WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION CAN BE STORED IN A QR CODE?
QR Codes are so versatile, they are able to store a variety of information
depending on your needs. It can store a URL to make it easier for you to open a
page on the web with just a scan. It can also store contact details so that you
don’t have to manually type the name, phone number, and email address to save it
to your phone. But of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg; you can view
more use cases here.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO COUNT THE QR CODE SCANS (TRACKING, ANALYTICS, MEASURING)?
Yes, it is possible with our PRO version. You can track the number of scans,
where, and when it was scanned. You can even see which operating system your
audience uses on their devices! All of these are important metrics for you to
measure your campaigns and use it to improve or even expand.
HOW LONG ARE QR CODES VALID FOR? DO THEY EXPIRE?
Static QR Codes are valid for as long as you want and will never expire. The
only instance where the Code might “expire” is when the link is changed or
deleted, rendering it unscannable. We encourage you to create Dynamic Codes so
that you have total control as the content or links are replaceable no matter
what happens. Plus, it has plenty of other advantages for your campaigns!
WHAT DOES STATIC AND DYNAMIC QR CODE MEAN?
Once generated, a Static Code cannot be edited and its scans cannot be tracked.
Dynamic Code, on the other hand, is very flexible and is virtually
indestructible. You can update its content, change/add links, and fix typos;
even after print. You can also track the number of scans, including where and
when.
HOW DO I MANAGE QR CODES WITH A QR CODE GENERATOR?
After signing up, you will have the chance to try all the features of our
generator free for 14 days. There, you can create Static and Dynamic QR Codes,
design with colors and logos, choose frames, save designs as templates, edit the
short URLs, set up your own domain, add team members, and many other exciting
features.
CREATING & DESIGNING
IS IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE DIFFERENT QR CODES FOR THE SAME CONTENT?
Yes. This is because they have 40 different versions with four error correction
levels and eight masking possibilities. This means there are 1280 possible QR
Codes for any given input. However, for marketing purposes, only versions 1-7
are used so our generator will typically choose the best version based on the
amount of data stored and the best mask to produce a better image in terms of
readability.
CAN I CUSTOMIZE A QR CODE WITH MY COMPANY LOGO OR ICON?
Definitely! Account signup to our PRO version is required to unlock this
feature, but you are welcomed to try all the features free for 14 days!
DO QR CODES HAVE TO BE BLACK AND WHITE?
Not at all. You can use your brand or company colors, or whatever color you
like. There are 16,777,216 colors using #RRGGBB notation so feel free to play
around with the color picker!
CAN A QR CODE BE EDITED/CHANGED?
Absolutely! You can change the content, replace a link, fix a typo—all of these
can be done after print. This means you don’t have to reprint a new QR Code
every time you change its content (unless you’re changing the design). However,
this feature is only available with our PRO version.
HOW DO I GENERATE A LARGE BATCH OF QR CODES?
Use our API, which you can integrate directly into your existing system. You can
create either the standard black and white Codes or full customization with
colors and designs. Still not sure? Contact us.
SCANNING & PRINTING
WHAT GRAPHIC FORMATS DO THE GENERATED QR CODES SUPPORT?
You can download them in high-resolution JPG format. To download in PNG, SVG, or
even EPS, account signup is required. Please take note that if you require the
QR Code image in EPS format, we only offer them in black and white without any
designs.
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE PRINTING MY QR CODE?
You need to know the right size, the right contrasting colors, and always test
it before printing. We’ve compiled a printing guide to help you launch the best
marketing campaign and to avoid costly errors.
HOW TO READ/SCAN A QR CODE?
If you’re using an iOS device, just open the camera app and hold it over a QR
Code until a notification pops up. Same for Android or other mobile devices,
except that if nothing happened, you may want to check your settings and see if
QR Code scanning is enabled. Otherwise, search for a reliable QR Code reader in
your app store, most of them are free!
CAN QR CODES BE SCANNED WITHOUT AN APP?
Yes! For most iOS and Android users, a QR Code scanner is already built into the
native camera app. Simply open the camera app and hold it over any Codes until a
notification pops up. You don't even have to press any button to scan the Codes.
IS THERE A SCAN LIMIT FOR THE QR CODES?
No, they do not have a scan limit.
WHY IS MY QR CODE NOT WORKING?
This could be a number of reasons. Your QR Code may not be detected by a scanner
because it’s blurry or there isn’t enough contrast between the Code and the
background. A simple rule to remember is to make sure the foreground is always
darker than the background. Follow our tips before printing for the best
possible result.
CAN MY SMARTPHONE SCAN QR CODES?
If you’re using an Apple iPhone, simply open the camera app and hold it over a
Code until a notification pops up. If you’re using an Android smartphone, you
may use the same method. If it didn’t work, go to your settings and check if the
QR Code scanning feature is enabled. Otherwise, you may simply install a
third-party QR Code scanner from your app store as most of them are free!
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM SIZE OF A QR CODE?
If you are printing on small to medium-sized merchandise (ex: business cards or
flyers), your Codes should be at least 2 x 2 cm (around 0.8 x 0.8 in).
