Frequently Asked Questions
-
Will the QR codes I make here expire?
+No. Enqodo makes static QR codes – the data lives inside the code itself, so there's nothing on a server to switch off or renew, and it keeps working for good. Many so-called free generators quietly make your code dynamic (routed through their server) so it can be shut off later unless you pay. We don't.
-
Is this QR code generator really free?
+Yes – creating and downloading static QR codes is free, with no watermark, no ads and no account, and it always will be.
-
What happens when someone scans my YouTube QR code?
+The phone opens the video or channel, in the YouTube app if it's installed, otherwise in the browser. Videos start right away, channels show the subscribe button.
-
Can I make a QR code for my channel instead of a video?
+Yes. Type your @handle or paste the channel link. Playlists and Shorts work the same way: paste the link.
-
Can the video start at a certain time?
+Yes. Use the Share button under the video, tick Start at, pick the time and copy that link. The timestamp is kept in the code.
-
Do private or unlisted videos work?
+Unlisted videos work. Anyone with the link can watch, and the code is the link. Private videos won't play for anyone but you, so switch them to unlisted first.
-
Where are YouTube QR codes used?
+Product manuals and packaging linking to a how-to video, print ads and posters, slides and handouts, restaurant tables, business cards. Anywhere a video explains more than text.
-
Do I need an account or to sign up?
+No. No sign-up, no email, no login – make your code and download it.
-
Will my QR code stop working if I don't pay?
+No. There's no subscription behind a static code and nothing to reactivate – print it once and it works whether or not you ever return.
-
Can I download it as PNG and SVG, with no watermark?
+Yes – every code downloads as a high-resolution PNG and a vector SVG, both watermark-free. SVG scales to any size with no quality loss, which is what you want for print.
-
Can I use the QR code commercially?
+Yes – codes you make are yours to use anywhere, including on products, packaging, signage and marketing. No licence, no attribution.
-
What's the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?
+A static code stores its data inside the code – fixed, free and impossible to switch off. A dynamic code stores a link on a server and redirects, so it can be edited and tracked, but it depends on that service staying on. Enqodo makes static codes.
-
Can I make a dynamic QR code I can edit after printing?
+Not yet – Enqodo makes static codes, which are fixed once created (that's exactly why they can't be switched off). Editable dynamic codes are something we plan to add in the future.
-
Can I track how many times my QR code is scanned?
+Not yet. A static code points straight at your link without routing through our servers, so there's nothing for us to count – which is also good for your privacy. We're working on scan analytics for a future update.
-
Is it safe and private – where does my data go?
+Static codes are built right in your browser: your data is encoded into the image and never sent to or stored on our servers. Nothing to leak, nothing to track.
