Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL QR code?
A URL QR code is a type of QR code that, when scanned, directs the user to a specific website or webpage. It encodes a web address (URL) into a scannable pattern that smartphones can read using their camera.
Do URL QR codes expire?
Static URL QR codes (like the ones generated here) never expire. They will work forever as long as the destination URL remains active. Dynamic QR codes from other services may expire based on their subscription model.
What are UTM parameters and why should I use them?
UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) parameters are tags added to your URL that help Google Analytics identify where traffic comes from. By adding UTM parameters, you can see exactly how many visitors came from scanning your QR code vs. other marketing channels.
Is my data safe when using this generator?
