Static codes do not expire
A code made here holds the content itself. It needs no account, so it keeps working. Some services sell dynamic codes that point to their server. Those codes stop when the subscription ends.
Tips for a code that scans
- Use a dark code on a light background.
- Keep the white border around the code. This is the quiet zone.
- Test the code before you print it.
- Print it large enough for the scan distance.
