Where to put it

  • Shorter links make smaller, faster codes. Drop tracking tags you do not need.
  • Higher error correction (Q or H) survives scratches and a logo on top, but makes the code denser.
  • Keep a margin of four modules on every side. Printers love to trim it.

Want scan counts and an editable destination? Make it a free dynamic code. Want it in your own image? Make a picture code.

Questions

Does this QR code expire?+

No. A static code holds the link itself, so it works as long as the page does. There is no account and nothing to renew.

What error correction should I pick?+

M suits most print. Pick Q or H if the code may get scratched, dirty or partly covered, knowing it makes the code denser. L gives the smallest code for clean screens.

How much margin does a QR code need?+

Four modules of clear space on every side is the standard. Two is often enough on a plain background; less than that and some phones struggle.

Why is an http link flagged?+

Phones warn before opening plain http pages, and some block them. Use https if the site supports it.

Can I change the link or count scans later?+

No. A static code holds the destination itself, so it cannot be edited or counted after printing. For a code you can change and track, make a free dynamic code at ariaqr.com/free-qr-code-generator.
