Scan check

Scans reliably
  • Contrast18.9:1 between code and background.
  • Print sizeVersion 2, 25×25 modules. Print at least 2.0 cm wide.

Static code: the content is inside the image itself. It never expires and works without PIXELVERSE.

How to use the qr code generator

  1. Choose what the code should do: open a link, join Wi-Fi, save a contact, write an email, call or text.
  2. Fill in the details. The code updates as you type.
  3. Set the colors, pattern and corner style. Add a logo if you like; error correction moves to H automatically.
  4. Read the scan check. Green means the contrast, logo size and margin are all within safe limits.
  5. Download SVG for print and design files, or PNG up to 4096 px for screens and documents.

Static codes that never stop working

Many “free” QR generators make dynamic codes: the image holds a short link to the vendor’s server, which then redirects to your page. When the trial ends, the redirect is switched off and every printed code stops working. QR Code Generator’s own help centre confirms that dynamic codes made during its free trial are deactivated when the trial ends.

PIXELVERSE only makes static codes. Your link, Wi-Fi details or contact card are encoded in the pattern itself. There is no redirect, no account and no expiry; the code works as long as the destination does. The trade-off is that a static code cannot be edited after printing, so check the link before you send it to the printer.

What the scan check looks at

  • Contrast between the code and its background. Cameras need a clear difference; aim for 4:1 or more.
  • Inversion. Light codes on dark backgrounds read on modern phones, but some older scanners reject them.
  • Logo coverage against the error correction level. Level H can rebuild about 30% of the data; a logo should stay well inside that.
  • Quiet zone. The QR standard asks for a margin of four modules around the code.
  • Print size, worked out from the module count, so dense codes are not printed too small.

These are rules of thumb. Before printing hundreds, scan a test print with two different phones.

The code is generated in your browser. Your content and logo are not uploaded anywhere. For a code guests can scan to join your network, the Wi-Fi QR generator also makes a printable card.

Questions

Do these QR codes expire?

No. They are static codes: the content is stored in the image itself, with no redirect server in between, so nothing can switch them off.

Should I download SVG or PNG?

SVG for anything printed or edited in Figma, Illustrator or InDesign; it stays sharp at any size. PNG for documents, slides and websites; choose 1024 px or more for print.

How big can my logo be?

With error correction H, a logo up to about a fifth of the code's width is safe. The scan check warns you when the logo covers too much for the chosen level.

Can I track scans?

Not with a static code, because scans go straight to your destination. Add UTM parameters to your link to see QR visits in your analytics instead.
