Frequently asked questions

Yes. You can create and download static QR codes without creating an account.

Static QR codes do not expire. A QR code linking to a website will continue to work as long as its destination address remains available.

QR code generation is processed directly in your browser. Your entered content is not required to be uploaded to generate the QR code.

QRfarm supports website URLs, plain text, email, Wi-Fi, phone, SMS, contact cards and map locations.

Yes. You can customize QR colors, module patterns, center logos, borders, frames and call-to-action text. Always scan the finished design before sharing it.

QR codes can be downloaded as PNG, SVG, vector PDF or EPS. Uploaded raster logos remain embedded images inside otherwise vector exports.

QRfarm creates static QR codes. The content is stored directly in the QR code, so QRfarm does not use a redirect service or provide a dashboard for changing the encoded destination after download.

The encoded content of a downloaded static QR code cannot be changed. Update the information in QRfarm and download a new code. If a URL points to a web address you control, you may change or redirect the page at that address, but QRfarm does not manage that redirect.

No. QRfarm does not provide scan counts, device analytics or scanner-location tracking. A website opened by a URL QR code may use its own analytics after the visitor reaches that website.

Yes. Generated QR codes can be used for menus, packaging, signs, business cards, documents, marketing materials and other personal or commercial projects. You remain responsible for the encoded content, uploaded logos, trademarks and linked destinations.

SVG, PDF and EPS are generally the best choices for professional printing because supported QR elements remain scalable vector graphics. PNG is convenient for websites, documents and fixed-size digital use. Uploaded raster logos remain raster images inside vector exports.

There is no single minimum size that works for every QR code. The required size depends on the amount of encoded data, module density, scanning distance, printer quality, material and design. Keep a clear margin around the code and test it at the final printed size before production.

Common causes include low contrast, a size that is too small, a cropped clear margin, glare, poor printing, distortion, a curved surface, excessive decoration or an oversized logo. Try a dark foreground on a light background, increase the size, reduce customization and test on multiple devices.

Yes. QRfarm supports custom foreground and background colors, including transparent-background designs. Maintain strong contrast and test transparency on the actual surface where the QR code will appear, because the surface becomes the effective background.

A logo covers part of the QR pattern, so an oversized or highly detailed logo can reduce reliability. QR error correction may help recover obscured data, but it cannot guarantee every design will scan. Use a compact logo and test the finished code on several devices.

More encoded data normally requires more QR modules and produces a denser pattern. Use only the information you need, shorten unnecessarily long URLs when appropriate and increase the final display or print size for dense QR codes.

No. The network name, security type and password are encoded in the QR code and may be readable by anyone who scans or decodes it. Share Wi-Fi QR codes only with people who should have access to the network.

No. Scanning opens a compatible email or messaging application with the encoded recipient, subject or message fields prepared. The user must review and send the message themselves.

Plain text, contact details and Wi-Fi information can usually be decoded without internet access when the device supports that QR type. URL, map and online-service QR codes require connectivity to open their external destination.

Many current Android and iOS devices can scan QR codes with the built-in camera. Some devices may require QR scanning to be enabled, Google Lens or another trusted QR reader. Hold the camera steady and keep the entire code visible.

A vCard QR code can include contact details such as a name, organization, telephone number, email address and website. More fields create a denser code, so test detailed contact cards at a sufficiently large size on multiple devices.

A location QR code stores latitude and longitude coordinates. When scanned, a compatible device can open those coordinates in a map application. Use decimal coordinates and verify the exact location before sharing or printing the code.
