Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between error correction levels?

Error correction allows QR codes to be read even when partially damaged. Low (7%) is suitable for clean digital displays, Medium (15%) for normal printing, Quartile (25%) for outdoor use, and High (30%) for surfaces that may get dirty or damaged. Higher correction means larger QR codes.

What's the maximum amount of data I can encode?

QR codes can store up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters or 7,089 numeric characters. However, more data creates denser, harder-to-scan codes. For best results, keep URLs under 100 characters and use URL shorteners for longer links.

Should I choose PNG or SVG format?

Use PNG for web display, social media, and digital screens where file size matters. Choose SVG for printing, business cards, and situations where you need to scale the QR code to different sizes without quality loss. SVG files are vector-based and infinitely scalable.

How do I create a WiFi QR code?

Use this format: WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:password;; Replace "WPA" with your security type (WPA, WEP, or leave blank for open), "NetworkName" with your WiFi name, and "password" with your WiFi password. The double semicolon at the end is required.
