Tips for printing QR codes
Download at the largest size (512px) for print use — this gives the sharpest result when scaled up. Always test your printed QR code with at least two different phones before distributing. Keep at least 4mm of white space (the quiet zone) around all four edges.
Do QR codes expire?
Static QR codes (like these) never expire. The destination is encoded directly in the pattern. If you update your website URL, you will need to generate a new QR code — so use a permanent URL where possible.
