Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upload my photo directly here?
No — we don't host files. Upload your image to Google Photos, Imgur, Cloudinary, or your own website first. Copy the public sharing URL and paste it here. Most image hosts give you a direct link in under a minute.
What does someone see when they scan?
Their browser opens and displays the image. JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP — any standard format their phone browser supports. No app download, no login.
Can I change the image later?
If your hosting service lets you replace an image at the same URL, yes — the code keeps working. Otherwise, generate a new code with the updated link.
Where are image QR codes most useful?
Museum and gallery labels (link to full-resolution work), real estate signs (show floor plans or interior shots), restaurant tables (show a photo of the day's special), event programmes (link to a speaker photo or map). Anywhere space is limited but a visual would help.
Does the link need to be a direct image URL?
Not necessarily — it can be a Google Photos sharing page or an Imgur album page. As long as the image is clearly visible when the link opens on a phone, it works.
Will it work for all image formats?
JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP — yes. Formats that don't render inline in mobile browsers (like raw TIFF) might prompt a download instead. Stick to JPG or PNG for the most reliable experience.
Is my image URL stored?
No. Generated locally in your browser. Nothing sent to our servers.
Best QR format for print?
SVG for anything going to a printer. PNG for digital embedding.
