Frequently Asked Questions

Which type does QrGenerate create?

QrGenerate creates static QR codes. Your data is encoded directly into the QR image with no server dependency, no expiration, and no fees.

Are dynamic QR codes better?

Not necessarily. Dynamic codes offer flexibility but require a subscription and depend on a third-party server. Static codes are free, permanent, and fully private.
