Frequently Asked Questions

How does Reed-Solomon Error Correction work in QR codes?

QR codes use Reed-Solomon error correction algorithms to restore lost data if the code is torn, smudged, or partially obscured: **Level L**: recovers up to 7% damage; **Level M**: recovers 15%; **Level Q**: recovers 25%; **Level H**: recovers up to **30% damaged or obscured area**. Level H is required when embedding a logo in the center of a QR code.

What is the maximum data capacity of a standard QR code?

The theoretical maximum capacity for a Version 40 QR code is: **7,089 numeric characters**, **4,296 alphanumeric characters**, or **2,953 raw binary bytes**. However, simpler payloads (short URLs under 100 characters) generate cleaner codes with larger module dots that scan faster from greater distances.

Do generated QR codes expire?

Static QR codes encode the data directly into the matrix pattern and **never expire**. They work forever without requiring internet servers or subscription fees. (Dynamic QR codes that route through a third-party redirection service can expire if that service goes offline).

How do you format a Wi-Fi QR code for instant smartphone connection?

Wi-Fi QR codes use the standardized format: `WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNetworkSSID;P:MyPassword;;`. When scanned with an iPhone or Android camera, the operating system displays a prompt: *'Join MyNetworkSSID Network?'* and connects automatically without typing.
