What can a QR code contain?
Any text — a website link, plain text, an email address, a phone number or Wi-Fi details. Links are the most common use.
Static vs dynamic QR codes
These are static codes: the data is baked into the image, so they never expire and don't depend on any server. Dynamic codes (editable, trackable) require a paid service.
FAQ
Do these QR codes expire?
