No. We are privacy-focused. All QR code generation and scanning processes happen locally within your browser. We do not transmit or store any of the data you enter, ensuring maximum privacy.

3. What file formats can I download the QR code in?

You can download your generated QR codes in two versatile formats: PNG (for raster images, ready to use) and SVG (for vector images, best for high-quality printing and scaling without loss of quality).

4. Can I Use the QR Codes for My Business?

Absolutely! You can use your QR codes for business or personal purposes with no restrictions. Our tool is perfect for businesses, marketers, and creators who want to share information in a professional way.

We support a wide range of data types including URL/Text, WiFi Network credentials, vCard (Contact Card), Calendar Events, SMS Messages, Email addresses, and Phone Numbers.

6. Can I make the QR code background transparent?

Absolutely! Simply check the 'Transparent Background' checkbox in the generator settings. This is particularly useful for integrating the QR code into complex designs or colored backgrounds.

7. What is the 'Smart Platform Detection' feature?

The 'Smart Platform Detection' is an optional feature that attempts to identify which device platform (e.g., iOS, Android, Desktop) is scanning the QR code, providing general information about the detected system for advanced users. It is off by default.

8. Why is my generated QR code not scanning?

Common issues include: insufficient color contrast (make sure the foreground is much darker than the background), too much data for the size/error correction level, or printing/displaying the code too small. Try increasing the size and contrast, or reducing the amount of data.

9. Can I customize the corners and dots?

Yes, our generator offers extensive style customization. You can choose different styles like 'Square', 'Rounded', and 'Dot' for both the main dots and the corner squares to perfectly match your aesthetic preferences.

10. Do I need an internet connection to generate or scan?

Once the page is loaded, the core generation and scanning logic are executed entirely within your browser using client-side JavaScript. Therefore, you do not need an active internet connection to generate or scan a QR code (after the initial page load).

11. Do QR Codes Created on qrcodeai.online Expire?

QR codes generated using qrcodeai.online never expire and remain valid forever! All our QR Codes are static and permanent, which means they will always work without interruption. However, please note that the content of a QR code cannot be edited once it’s created.

Success!
