What can I encode in a QR code?

QR codes can encode URLs, plain text, phone numbers, email addresses, Wi-Fi credentials, contact cards (vCard), and more.

What is error correction level?

Error correction allows QR codes to be read even if partially damaged. Higher levels (H) can survive up to 30% damage but produce a denser pattern. Level M or Q is good for most uses.

What is the maximum amount of text I can encode?

A QR code can hold up to about 4,296 alphanumeric characters, but shorter content produces a less dense and more scannable code.

The QR code image itself does not expire. However, if you encoded a URL that later stops working, the QR code will still scan but lead nowhere.
