Frequently asked questions
- How does a QR code work?
- Every QR code contains 7 key components — from finder patterns that help your camera detect the code to error correction that keeps it scannable even when damaged. Read our visual guide to QR code anatomy →
- Is this QR code generator really free?
- Yes. The free tier covers unlimited static QR codes with PNG download. QR Pro ($9/month) unlocks dynamic QR codes you can re-target without reprinting, plus scan analytics, logo upload, and SVG/EPS export.
- Will my QR codes expire?
- No. Static QR codes generated here encode your destination directly into the code itself — they work forever, with no server in between.
- What size should I download?
- For print, use at least 512 px and scale up. For digital use, 256–512 px is plenty. The bigger the code, the more error correction you can afford.
- Why are dark codes on light backgrounds best?
- QR readers expect a clear contrast between the modules and the quiet zone. Dark-on-light is the safest. If you invert it, keep contrast high and test on multiple phones first.
- Do I need to credit Top Dollar Marketing?
- No. The PNGs you download are yours — no watermark, no attribution required.
