Frequently Asked Questions About QR Code Generators

Answers to common questions about QR code types, features, and how to choose the right one.

What are the most popular QR code generator types?

The most commonly used QR code generators are for URLs/links, PDF documents, WiFi networks, restaurant menus, vCard business cards, events, forms, and social media profiles. These cover the majority of business and personal use cases.

What is the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

Static QR codes store information directly in the code and cannot be edited after printing. Dynamic QR codes use a short redirect URL, which lets you update the destination, track scan analytics like location, device, and time, and change the linked content anytime without reprinting the QR code.

Which QR code type should I use for a PDF?

Use the PDF QR Code Generator. It lets you upload a PDF file and generate a QR code that opens the document on any device. With dynamic QR codes, you can replace the PDF later without changing the printed code — useful for menus, brochures, and manuals.

Can I create a QR code for WiFi, menus, events, or payments?

Yes. QR Build offers dedicated generators for WiFi network access, digital restaurant menus, event tickets and invitations, and payment links including Bitcoin and SEPA transfers. Each generator is optimized for its specific use case.

Which QR code generator is best for business cards?

The vCard QR Code Generator is designed for business cards. When scanned, it saves your name, phone number, email, company, and website directly to the recipient's contacts. You can also use the MeCard generator for broader device compatibility.

Can I track QR code scans?

Yes. All dynamic QR codes on QR Build include scan analytics — you can see total scans, scan locations, device types, and timestamps. This data helps you measure campaign performance and understand how people interact with your codes.

Do QR codes work on all smartphones?

Yes. QR codes are a universal standard supported by all modern smartphones. Most devices can scan QR codes directly through the camera app — no extra software is needed. QR codes also work with dedicated barcode scanners and tablets.

How do I choose the right QR code generator?

Start with what you want the person scanning to see or do. To share a website, use the Link generator. To share a file, use PDF. For contact info, use vCard. For guest WiFi, use WiFi. Browse the categories on this page to find generators organized by industry and purpose.
