Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about generating QR code PDFs
What can I encode in the QR code?
Any UTF-8 text: URLs, plain text, Wi-Fi strings, vCard contact data, email addresses, or phone numbers. The maximum payload depends on the error correction level you choose.
What is error correction and which level should I pick?
Error correction lets a QR remain readable even when partly damaged or obscured. Level L recovers ~7%, M ~15%, Q ~25%, and H ~30% of data. Use H if you plan to overlay a logo or expect print wear; M is the best general-purpose default.
What page sizes are supported?
A4, US Letter, and US Legal in either portrait or landscape orientation. The QR is centered on the page at the size you choose.
Can I change the QR colors?
Yes. Pick any hex foreground (dark modules) and background (light modules) color. For best scan reliability, keep the foreground much darker than the background and avoid inverted color schemes on older scanners.
Will the QR be printable at high quality?
Yes. The QR is generated at high resolution and embedded as a crisp raster image in the PDF. It stays sharp at any print size you select.
Is the QR code free to use commercially?
Yes. QR Code is an open ISO standard. You can use the generated QR codes for personal, commercial, or print materials with no licensing fees.
Are my inputs sent to a server?
No. QR generation and PDF rendering run entirely in your browser. Nothing you type leaves your device.
Do I need an account?
No sign-up is required. QR Code to PDF is free to use without an account or installation.
Can I add a caption under the QR?
Yes. The optional caption field renders a single line of text below the QR code so recipients know what to expect when they scan it.
