Frequently asked questions
What can I encode in the QR code?
Any plain text, including URLs, phone numbers, email addresses, Wi-Fi strings, or arbitrary messages. Most scanners auto-detect URLs and offer to open them.
What format is the output?
A PNG image, which you can download and place into print layouts, slides, or web pages.
Does my text or URL get uploaded anywhere?
No. The code is generated entirely in your browser, so private links and passwords never touch a server.
Is there a length limit on the text?
QR codes can hold up to a few thousand characters, but shorter content produces a less dense, easier-to-scan code. For long URLs, consider shortening first.
Will the code still scan after I resize it for print?
Yes, as long as you keep it reasonably large and high-contrast. PNG output scales cleanly, but avoid printing it smaller than about 2 cm square.
