What is a QR code?
A QR (Quick Response) code is a type of two-dimensional barcode that can store various kinds of information. Unlike traditional barcodes, QR codes can be scanned quickly using smartphone cameras, instantly linking users to websites, contact details, WiFi networks, text, payment information, and much more. They act as a fast bridge between the physical world and digital content.
Can I use these QR codes for business?
Definitely! Any QR code you generate using Quantum Arcade can be used for both personal and commercial purposes without any restrictions or fees. Feel free to use them on marketing materials, product packaging, event promotions, or anywhere else you need them.
Do the QR codes created on Quantum Arcade expire?
No, the standard QR codes generated on Quantum Arcade do not expire. We create static QR codes, meaning the information encoded within them is permanent and directly embedded. Once created, they will function indefinitely as long as the underlying data (like the website link) remains valid.
What does "Static QR Code" mean? Can I edit the content later?
Static QR codes, like the ones generated for free on Quantum Arcade, have their destination data directly encoded into the pattern. This means:
They work forever without needing ongoing service.
You cannot edit the encoded data after the QR code has been generated. If you need to change the information (e.g., update a website link), you'll need to create a new QR code.
Is there a limit to how many times my QR code can be scanned?
There are no scan limits whatsoever on the QR codes created with Quantum Arcade. Whether it's scanned ten times or ten million times, your static QR code will continue to work reliably.
Do I need to register or sign up to use Quantum Arcade?
No sign-up is required! We believe in simplicity and accessibility. You can start creating your custom QR codes instantly without needing to create an account or provide personal information.
Can I create QR codes in different colors or add a logo?
While our basic generator focuses on creating standard, highly compatible black and white QR codes for maximum scannability across all devices, QR code technology itself does allow for customization like colours. However, for optimal performance, high contrast (like dark on light) is generally recommended. * (You could adapt this if your tool does offer colour/logo options easily)*
What types of information can I encode using Quantum Arcade?
Our versatile QR code generator supports a wide array of data types, including:
Website URLs (Links)
Plain Text
Email Addresses (with pre-filled subject/body)
Contact Details (vCard)
Phone Numbers & SMS Messages
WiFi Network Credentials
Geographic Locations
Social & Communication links (WhatsApp, Skype, Zoom)
Payment details (PayPal, Crypto Addresses)
Event Information
Links to hosted files (Documents, MP3s, Photos, Videos) - Ensure users understand the file itself isn't stored IN the QR code, but rather a link to it.
My QR code isn't scanning properly. What should I check?
Ensure the QR code image is clear, has sufficient contrast, and is not distorted. Maintain a quiet zone (white space) around the code. Also, check that the data you encoded (like a URL) is correct and active. Test with different QR code scanning apps or devices if possible.
