FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How can I check whether a QR code works?
Import the final file, confirm the decoded content and also scan a real-size copy in the intended conditions.
Why test before printing?
Resizing, low contrast, a cropped quiet zone or compression can make a previously valid code unreadable.
Does one successful test guarantee every phone can scan it?
No. Important campaigns should also be tested across devices, apps, print materials and scan distances.
Which URL risks are flagged?
The tester flags HTTP, embedded credentials, Punycode, IP hosts, local targets, unusual ports, very long URLs and dangerous schemes.
Does the tester follow redirects?
No. It analyzes the literal QR payload without contacting the destination.
