Frequently Asked Questions

Do QR codes expire?

The QR code image itself doesn't expire โ€” it always encodes the same data. However, if the QR code links to a URL and that URL is later removed or changed by you, the code will lead to a dead link or different content.

What's the best size to print a QR code?

Larger is generally safer for scanning from a distance โ€” for printed materials, a minimum of about 1 inch (2.5cm) square is often recommended, with larger sizes for posters or signage viewed from farther away.

Can I put a QR code on a colored background?

QR codes need sufficient contrast between the code and its background to scan reliably โ€” dark code on a light background (or vice versa) generally works best; avoid low-contrast color combinations.

Is there a limit to how much text a QR code can hold?

Yes, QR codes have a maximum data capacity depending on the version and error correction level used โ€” very long text or URLs may require a higher-density QR code, which can be harder to scan at small sizes.
