Why these codes never stop working
Many "free" QR sites give you a short link that points through their own servers, then switch it off unless you pay. Here, your link or text is written into the code itself. There is nothing in between to switch off, and nobody tracks who scans it.
Tips for codes that scan every time
- Keep strong contrast: a dark code on a light background. Light codes on dark backgrounds fail on many phone cameras.
- Print it at least 2 × 2 cm (about 0.8 inch), and bigger for posters read from a distance.
- Leave the white border around the code. Scanners need it to find the edges.
- With a logo, choose Highest error correction and test with two different phones before printing.
Frequently asked questions
Do these QR codes expire?
No. The content is inside the code itself, so it keeps working forever. Nothing passes through our servers and we can't switch it off.
Can I change the link after printing?
Not with a static code like this one: the link is printed in it. If you need to change it later, point the code to a page on your own website that you can update.
Can I use the code commercially?
Yes, on packaging, menus, flyers and business cards. No attribution needed.
Which file should I use for printing?
SVG. It is a vector file that stays sharp at any size. For screens and documents, the 2048-pixel PNG is plenty.
Do Arabic and Urdu text work?
Yes. Text is encoded as UTF-8, which every modern phone reads, including Arabic, Urdu, Hindi and emoji.
