Frequently asked questions
How much data can a QR code hold?
A standard QR code can hold up to ~4,296 alphanumeric characters. Short URLs are ideal - the shorter the data, the simpler and easier to scan the code.
Do QR codes expire?
The QR code itself never expires. If you encoded a URL, it points to that URL indefinitely - but if the page is deleted or moved, scans will result in a broken link.
