QR codes let anyone scan a square barcode with their phone camera to instantly open a link, view text, or trigger an action - no typing needed. This tool generates and customizes QR codes (colors, styling) for any content, useful for menus, business cards, posters, or sharing a link quickly in person.
Frequently asked questions
Commonly a URL, plain text, or other structured data (like contact info or Wi-Fi credentials, covered by the specialized QR tools) - when scanned, the device interprets that data and takes the appropriate action, like opening a link.
Reasonable color customization (keeping good contrast between the code and background) generally scans fine - extreme styling with poor contrast or heavy logo overlays can reduce scan reliability, so it's worth testing a customized code before printing or distributing it widely.
A QR code itself doesn't expire - it's just an encoded pointer to whatever content you set. If it points to a URL and that URL later goes offline or changes, the code will lead somewhere different or nowhere, even though the code image itself is unchanged.
