FAQ
QR code questions.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. The data is encoded directly in the image — there's no shortener or redirect involved, nothing to expire, and no scan limit.
How much data fits in a QR code?
Thousands of characters in theory, but practical labels should stay short — long payloads mean denser modules that need bigger printing to scan reliably. For inventory, encode a short code and let software look it up.
SVG or PNG — which should I download?
SVG for print (it scales to any size with no quality loss), PNG for documents, emails, and anywhere raster images are expected.
Will damaged or scratched codes still scan?
Usually, yes — QR has built-in error correction. At the level we generate (M), codes typically survive around 15% damage.
Can I print a whole sheet of QR labels at once?
Yes — the free label sheet generator takes a list of names or codes and lays them out on Avery 5160 or 5163 sheets, one QR per item.
Other formats
Need a different barcode?
Barcodes that actually track something.
Generating codes is the easy half. Inventory Scan turns them into live inventory — scan any of these from a phone to look up, count, and update items. Free for 100 items.
