Important QR Code Notes
- Static QR Code: This creates a static QR code. The information is coded directly into the dots.
- Non-editable: The QR code content cannot be edited or updated after download. Changing the URL means creating a new QR code.
- No Tracking: This tool is 100% private. It does not provide scan tracking, custom short links, or click analytics.
What is a Static QR Code?
A QR (Quick Response) code is a type of matrix barcode that stores information as a series of pixels in a square grid. In a Static QR Code, your target data—whether it is a website link, a raw paragraph of text, or a contact details payload—is directly embedded into the graphical matrix.
Because the content is physical, the pixel density of the QR code increases as you add more text. Static codes are incredibly reliable and fast, because any scanner can read them offline without relying on dynamic link servers.
Best Practices for Custom Colors
To ensure your custom QR code scans easily by all smartphones, maintain a high contrast between the foreground and background colors. Always use a dark color for the foreground and a light color for the background. Light foregrounds on dark backgrounds (inverted QR codes) can fail to scan on some older scanning hardware and default camera apps.
What is Error Correction Level?
QR codes have an inherent error-correction capability
(built using Reed-Solomon codes) which allows them to
scan correctly even if the image is partially damaged,
dirty, or obscured.
- Level L: Recovers up to 7% of data
(best for tiny/clean codes).
- Level M: Recovers up to 15% (standard
default).
- Level Q: Recovers up to 25%.
- Level H: Recovers up to 30% (best
if you want to place a custom logo in the middle).
