FAQ

QR code questions

What can the QR code link to?

Any URL you enter — a website, a form, a video, or a contact page.

Can I add the QR code to every page?

Yes, check the “add to every page” option. By default it's added to the first page only.

Can I resize or reposition the QR code?

Yes. Choose a corner or center position and a size before generating the file.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. The QR code is generated and embedded entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
