Does the QR code expire?

No. It is a static QR code: your link or text is stored in the pattern itself, not behind a short link we control. It works for as long as the page it points to exists.

Can I change the link later?

No, because nothing sits between the code and your link. To change it, make a new QR code. Codes that can be edited later work by redirecting through a service, which can also stop.

No. Scans go straight from the phone to your link, so we never see them.

How much can a QR code hold?

This tool accepts up to 1,000 characters. Shorter text gives a simpler pattern that scans more easily, so keep links short where you can.
