What is it?
A QR code is a square matrix barcode that encodes a short string of data - typically a URL, Wi-Fi credentials, a vCard contact, or plain text. Phone cameras decode it natively, so a printed or on-screen QR turns a poster, business card or product label into a one-tap link. Static QR codes encode the destination directly, so they keep working forever; dynamic QR services route through a redirector and can break or charge fees later.
When to use it
Anywhere a camera will see your code and the user needs to act on it: restaurant menus, conference badges, product packaging, business cards, presentation slides, museum exhibits, Wi-Fi guest network signs, and event posters. Static QR is the right choice when you control the destination URL and don't need analytics; only reach for a dynamic service when you genuinely need re-targeting or tracking.
Common mistakes
Long URLs make the QR denser, which means it needs to be printed larger to remain scannable. Use a URL shortener or a clean slug. Don't put the QR on a glossy curved surface - printed codes work best flat and matte. Always test the printed version with multiple phone cameras at the realistic viewing distance before mass-producing.
FAQ
- Do these QR codes expire?
- Never. The QR code encodes your URL directly, so it points to your destination forever - unlike short-link QR services that can break.
- Can I use the QR codes commercially?
- Yes. The QR specification is royalty-free and so is everything we generate here.
