A few uses worth mentioning

Link a printed flyer to your website, put your WiFi password on a card for guests, or embed contact details on a business card: QR codes are handy anywhere someone needs to scan first and type nothing.

A typical use case

Printing a QR code on a flyer that links to an event page, or putting one on a restaurant table that opens the menu directly, no app download required for the person scanning it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I encode besides a URL?

Any plain text: a phone number, an address, a WiFi password, a short message.

Will the QR code still scan if I change the color?

Yes, as long as there's enough contrast between the foreground color and the white background. Very light colors can make scanning unreliable.

What format does it download as?

A PNG image, ready to insert into a document or print directly.

Is there a size limit on the text I can encode?

Very long text produces a denser, harder-to-scan code. For anything lengthy, a shortened link works better than raw text.
