The Problem with Commercial QR Generators
Many free QR generators use "dynamic" links, meaning the QR code points to their server first before redirecting to your destination. This allows them to track users, but it also means your QR code will stop working if their service goes down or if they decide to charge you a subscription fee.
Permanent and Private
The QR Forge at The Heuheu creates "Static" QR codes. The data is encoded directly into the pattern of the square. This means your code will work forever, it cannot be tracked by us, and it requires no internet connection once the page is loaded.
Usage Tips
- Contrast: Always ensure your QR code is printed in a dark color on a light background for maximum scannability.
- Testing: Always scan your generated code with a physical device before printing it on marketing materials.
- Simplicity: The less text you encode, the simpler the pattern will be, making it easier for older phones to read.
