Frequently asked questions

What can I put in a QR code?

Use safe URLs or short text. Keep the destination clear and review it before sharing.

Can a QR code be dangerous?

It can point to a harmful or misleading destination, so users should verify links before opening them.

Should I encode private links?

No. Treat QR codes as shareable artifacts and avoid private or tokenized URLs.

Limitations / when not to use

QR codes hide the destination until scanned. Do not use them for misleading links, sensitive tokens or unreviewed redirects.
