Frequently asked questions
Do QR codes generated here expire?
No — the QR code encodes your link or text directly, so it works for as long as that link or content remains valid; there's no expiry added by this tool.
Can I scan the QR code with any phone?
Most modern phones can scan QR codes directly through their built-in camera app, without needing a separate QR scanner app.
What's the maximum amount of text I can encode?
You can encode fairly long text or URLs, though very long content produces a denser, harder-to-scan code — shorter links scan more reliably.
Can I make a QR code for Wi-Fi or a contact card (vCard)?
Not yet — this tool encodes plain text and links. A dedicated Wi-Fi or vCard QR code (the kind a phone can auto-connect or auto-save from) uses a specific data format this tool doesn't build for you yet.
Is this QR code generator free, with no signup?
Yes — generating and downloading QR codes is completely free, with no account required and no limit on how many you create.
