QR codes created with QRWink are static — the data is encoded in the pattern itself. The phone can read the QR code offline. However, if the QR code contains a URL, the phone needs internet to open the website.

What is error correction in QR codes?

Error correction allows a QR code to remain scannable even if part of it is damaged or covered (e.g., by a logo). QRWink offers 4 levels: L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), and H (30%). Higher levels are recommended when adding a logo.

How do I create a QR code for a PDF file?

Upload your PDF to a cloud hosting service like Google Drive or Dropbox, copy the shareable link, then paste it into the URL field on QRWink. When someone scans the QR code, the PDF opens directly in their browser or downloads to their device. This is perfect for menus, brochures, catalogs, and instruction manuals.

Can I track how many times my QR code is scanned?

QRWink creates static QR codes that encode data directly in the pattern, so scan tracking is not built in. To track scans, use a URL shortener with analytics (like Bitly or UTM parameters) as your QR code destination. This lets you monitor scan counts, locations, devices, and time of day through your analytics dashboard.

What is the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

Static QR codes encode data directly into the pattern and never change — they work forever without any server dependency. Dynamic QR codes use a short redirect URL that can be updated later, but require a subscription service to keep working. QRWink generates static QR codes, which means your codes are permanent, free, and never expire.

Is it safe to scan QR codes?

QR codes themselves are safe — they simply store data like URLs or text. The risk comes from malicious links, just like with any URL. Most modern smartphones show a URL preview before opening it, so always check the destination before proceeding. QR codes generated with QRWink are created locally in your browser and contain only the data you enter.

Can QR codes store images or videos?

QR codes cannot directly store image or video files because they have a limited data capacity (about 3KB of text). Instead, upload your media to a hosting platform like YouTube, Instagram, or Google Drive, then encode the sharing link as a URL QR code. When scanned, the QR code opens the image or video in the viewer's browser.

How do I create a QR code for my social media profiles?
