Questions
How big should a QR code be on a poster?
About a tenth of the distance people scan from, for a short link. From 2 m away that's roughly 20 cm. Longer links make codes with more squares, which need to be printed larger still; the size line uses your code's real square count.
Why does my code not fit the paper?
At that distance it needs to be wider than the paper allows. Choose bigger paper, shorten the link (remove tracking parts after the ?), or put the poster where people stand closer.
Will it print sharply on a large poster?
Yes. The code is drawn as vector shapes in the PDF, so it stays crisp at any size, including at a print shop.
Can I use it as a flyer?
Yes. Choose A4 or Letter and a short distance, such as 0.5 m, for a flyer held in the hand.
Do the codes expire?
No. Your link is stored in the code itself, with no account behind it. It keeps working as long as the page it points to stays online.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The code and the PDF are made in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
