Do QR codes expire?
No. QR Studio generates static codes with no subscription or built-in expiration. A link can still become invalid when its target disappears, and QR Studio-hosted uploads stop working after 30 days.

Short text works best. Long text creates denser QR codes.

USEFUL TO KNOW
Honest answers about expiration.
What about large files?
Upload supported files of up to 5 MB for 30-day sharing, or paste a link from your own cloud storage for larger files.
Can someone edit a QR later?
Static QR data never changes. You can replace the file behind a stable link if your cloud provider preserves that URL; changing the URL requires a new QR.
Is free really free?
Yes. No login or QR-generation fees. Hosted uploads have a 5 MB file limit and operational quotas to keep the service sustainable.
