Frequently Asked Questions

What is a QR code and how does it work?

A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional matrix barcode invented by Denso Wave in 1994 that stores data in black-and-white square modules readable by any smartphone camera or qr code scanner.

What is the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

Static QR codes store data directly in the pattern and cannot be edited after creation, while dynamic QR codes use a short redirect URL managed through QoreQR's dashboard, enabling post-print edits and analytics.

Do QR codes expire?

Static QR codes generated via QoreQR never expire as long as the encoded content remains valid; dynamic QR codes remain active while your QoreQR subscription is valid, but the visual pattern itself has no expiration date.

Can I customize the colors and design of a QR code?

Yes, QoreQR allows full QR code customization with brand colors, logos, and patterns; users are responsible for ensuring sufficient contrast and testing scannability across devices before deployment.

How do I create a QR code with my logo?

Upload your logo (PNG/JPG) to QoreQR's logo embedding feature (available on paid plans), which places it in the center while preserving error correction; free-tier exports include the QoreQR app logo instead of custom logos.

What is the best file format for printing QR codes?

Use SVG vector formats from QoreQR for print materials to ensure infinite scalability without quality loss; for digital use, PNG offers optimal balance of quality and file size.

Can I track how many times my QR code is scanned?

Only dynamic QR codes in QoreQR support QR code analytics, tracking total scans, unique users, locations, devices, and timestamps via an intuitive dashboard.

How small can a QR code be and still be scannable?

The minimum recommended QR code size is 2×2 cm (0.8×0.8 in) for close-range scanning; use the general formula: Minimum size = Scanning distance ÷ 10 for optimal results.

How can QR codes be used in marketing campaigns?

QoreQR enables qr code marketing that bridges offline and online channels—embed codes in packaging, ads, or business cards to drive traffic, collect leads, offer discounts, or enable contactless payments.

Are free QR code generators safe for business use?

Many free generators insert ads or lack encryption; QoreQR's free QR code generator provides SSL encryption, privacy-focused practices, and transparent policies—making it suitable for business use.

How do I create QR codes in bulk for events or products?

Use QoreQR's bulk QR codes feature (available on Pro and Business plans): upload a CSV with unique URLs/data, apply a template once, and download all codes as a ZIP—ideal for serial-numbered products, event badges, or personalized marketing.

Can QR codes contain malware or lead to phishing sites?

The QR code itself is just data and cannot execute code; however, the destination URL can be malicious—users should verify sources and exercise caution when scanning codes from untrusted locations.

Is my data private when I scan a QR code?

Scanning a static QR code reveals no data to the creator; dynamic codes in QoreQR may log anonymized scan metadata for analytics, with GDPR/CCPA-oriented privacy controls.

Can someone copy or 'steal' my dynamic QR code?

No—dynamic QR codes in QoreQR are tied to your account via a unique short URL; even if someone replicates the visual pattern, scans route through your dashboard, giving you full control and analytics.

What colors should I avoid when designing my QR code in QoreQR?

Avoid low-contrast combinations (light foreground on light background), red-on-black, or colors that may reduce scanner recognition; always test-scan your QoreQR code on multiple devices before printing.
