Safe codes, honest answers

Is it safe to scan a QR code?

Yes — if you check the preview first. Your phone shows the link before opening it. If the address looks wrong, close it. Our codes are static: they hold only text, run nothing, and phone nothing home. The risk never comes from the square itself. It comes from a bad link hiding inside it.

Can a QR code give my phone a virus?

No. A QR code is a picture of text. It cannot run programs or install apps by itself. The worst it can do is open a bad web page — and your phone shows you that address first. Read the preview, skip odd links, and scanning stays safe.

Are free QR code generators safe to use?

Ours is. Everything runs in your browser: your link never leaves your device, nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored. Many free tools upload your data or demand an email first. Ask two questions before any generator: does it need an account, and does my data leave my phone?

What are QR code phishing scams?

Fake codes that point at lookalike login pages to steal passwords. They hide on posters, parking meters, and emails. Defense is simple: read the preview address before tapping, and type important addresses by hand. Our static codes cannot redirect or change after printing, so what you check is what you get.

Do QR codes track me?

Ours cannot. Static codes carry no server, so there is nothing to phone home and nothing to count. Paid dynamic codes are different: they route through a server that logs every scan — city, device, time. If nobody should know you scanned, use a static code from a tool that asks for nothing.

Do QR codes expire?

Ours never do. A static code stores the data inside the pattern itself, so no server exists that could switch it off. Print it on a menu or a van and it scans in ten years. Codes that stop working are dynamic ones whose subscription lapsed — a calendar problem, not a code problem.

Does a Canva QR code expire?

Static ones live on. A plain Canva download keeps working like any static code. Codes tied to your Canva account or a dynamic link die when the account closes or the trial ends. Ours have no account, so nothing exists that could end them.

How long does a free QR code last?

Ours: forever. Print it today, it scans in 10 years. A code dies only two deaths: its link rots, or its maker's server switches off. Static codes have no server. Keep the link alive and the code outlives us all.

Why do some free codes stop working?

Because they were never files, they were links. Trial-linked and redirect codes phone home on every scan. Stop paying and the server answers dead. A static code phones nobody. It cannot be switched off because there is nothing to switch.
