Your content stays on your device
The page you are on is a program that your browser runs. When you type a link, a Wi-Fi password or a phone number, the squares are calculated right here, in the open tab. There is no server step: no account, no database, and nothing to leak.
You can check it yourself. Open your browser’s developer tools, choose the Network tab and make a code. You will see no request that carries what you typed, and a logo you add is read from your disk and never leaves it.
The codes are static, and that is a feature
A code made here holds your information itself, written as squares. It does not point to a service that could be switched off, so it never expires, and nobody can add a tracker to it or hold it to ransom later.
The trade-off is that you cannot edit a printed code. If the content may change, make a link code to a page you control, and change the page. Read more on the website link page.
Before you print
- Size
- Print the code at least 2 cm wide, and larger for a poster you scan from a distance: about one tenth of the scanning distance.
- Contrast
- Dark squares on a light background read best. Keep a clear border around the code.
- Surface
- A flat, matt surface scans better than a curved or glossy one that reflects light.
- Test
- Scan the printed copy with two different phones before you order a thousand.
The scan check under the preview reads your design back with a separate decoder, and warns you about low contrast, inverted colors and oversized logos before you download.
