Frequently Asked Questions About QR Codes

Is this QR code generator really free?

Yes! Our QR code generator is 100% free with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or limitations. Generate and download as many QR codes as you need without any registration.

What size QR code should I use?

For digital use (websites, social media), 200x200 pixels works well. For printing on business cards or flyers, use 300x300 pixels or larger to ensure scannability.

Do QR codes expire?

No! QR codes generated with our tool never expire. They're static codes that will work forever, as long as the content you encoded (like a URL) remains active.

Can I edit a QR code after creating it?

QR codes are static once generated. To change the content, you'll need to create a new QR code. However, if you use URL shorteners with redirect capabilities, you can change the destination while keeping the same QR code.

How do I scan a QR code?

Most modern smartphones can scan QR codes directly through their camera app. Simply open your camera, point it at the QR code, and tap the notification that appears. Alternatively, use dedicated QR scanner apps.

Why isn't my QR code scanning?

Common issues include: QR code is too small, poor lighting, QR code is damaged or blurry, insufficient contrast between code and background. Try generating a larger size or testing with different devices.

Can I use the QR codes commercially?

Yes! QR codes generated with TextAura are free to use for personal and commercial purposes. No attribution required. Use them on business cards, products, marketing materials, or anywhere you need.
