Plan Limits

Understanding Your Plan Limits

QR Code Limit

The maximum number of active QR codes you can have at once. Deleted QR codes don't count toward this limit.

Scans per Month

Total number of scans across all your QR codes per calendar month. Resets on the 1st of each month.

Storage Limit

Total storage space for file QR codes. Applies to all files combined.

Edits per QR per Month

Number of times you can edit each QR code per month. Each QR code has its own edit counter.

Best Practices

QR Code Size

Ensure your QR code is at least 2cm x 2cm (0.8" x 0.8") when printed. Larger is better for scanning from a distance.

Contrast

Use high contrast colors. Dark QR code on light background works best. Avoid light colors on light backgrounds.

Testing

Always test your QR code with multiple devices before mass printing. Verify the destination and scanning reliability.

Placement

Place QR codes at eye level when possible. Ensure good lighting and avoid curved or reflective surfaces.
