QR Code FAQ
Common questions about QR code link shortening
Do QR codes expire?
No. URLcut.ai QR codes link to short URLs that never expire. Print once, works forever, even on the free plan.
Can I change where a QR code points after printing?
Yes. The QR code points to your short URL. You can update where that short URL redirects at any time without reprinting the QR code.
What formats can I download QR codes in?
Free and Basic QR codes are available as 300px PNG files in the product UI. Pro users can generate high-resolution PNG, SVG, and JPEG output through the QR API.
Can I track how many people scan my QR code?
Yes. QR scans are tracked as clicks on the short link, with device, location, referrer, and timing data. URLcut currently does not separate QR scans from other short-link clicks.
Can I customize the colors of my QR code?
Free and Basic users get black and white QR codes. Pro users can customize the QR code color and add one saved logo to match their brand.
How small can I print the QR code?
QR codes should be at least 2x2 cm (about 1 inch) for reliable scanning. Larger sizes scan better from a distance.
