Use cases
Link to a site or menu
Paste https://… on a menu card, event poster, or email footer. A guest scans and opens the page immediately.
Business card
Encode mailto:jane@company.com or a LinkedIn link. On paper it takes very little space.
Wi‑Fi or short instructions
You can encode a short text with a password or instructions. Remember that anyone with a scanner can read it — do not put secrets on public materials.
When to use it
• When you want to move a link from paper to a phone.
• When you prepare printed materials (flyers, posters, packaging).
• When you need a simple PNG without a third-party account.
How QR codes work
A QR code stores text in a grid of black-and-white modules with error correction. Longer content means more modules and a harder scan from far away or from a low-quality print. For posters, encode a short link (you can use your own short domain).
Frequently asked questions
What can I encode?
Links, plain text, mailto:, tel:, and other short content. The longer the text, the denser the code.
Does a QR code expire?
The image does not expire. If it points to a link, validity depends on whether the destination still works.
What file format do I download?
PNG — universal for print and the web.
Can I use the code commercially?
Yes. You may use the generated image in your own materials.
Do you track scans?
No. This is a static image with no redirect server in the middle.
