Frequently Asked Questions
Ist der QR-Code-Generator kostenlos?
Ja, der QR-Code-Generator ist zu 100 % kostenlos. Keine Anmeldung, keine versteckten Kosten, kein Wasserzeichen, keine Mengenbegrenzung. Du kannst beliebig viele QR-Codes erstellen und herunterladen.
Welche Inhalte kann ich in einen QR-Code packen?
Du kannst URLs (Webseiten), beliebigen Text, E-Mail-Adressen, Telefonnummern, SMS-Vorlagen, WLAN-Zugangsdaten und vCard-Kontaktinformationen kodieren. Wähle einfach den passenden Modus oberhalb des Eingabefelds.
In welchem Format kann ich den QR-Code herunterladen?
Du bekommst zwei Formate: PNG (Rastergrafik, ideal fürs Web, Word, Social Media) und SVG (Vektorgrafik, verlustfrei skalierbar, perfekt für Druck, Flyer, Visitenkarten).
Kann ich Farbe und Größe des QR-Codes anpassen?
Ja, du kannst sowohl die Vordergrund- als auch die Hintergrundfarbe frei wählen und die Ausgabegröße einstellen (typisch 200-1000 px). Achte auf ausreichenden Kontrast, sonst können Smartphone-Kameras den Code nicht mehr lesen.
Was bedeutet Fehlerkorrekturlevel (L, M, Q, H)?
Höhere Fehlerkorrektur erlaubt es, beschädigte oder teilverdeckte QR-Codes trotzdem zu lesen. L = 7 % Fehlerkorrektur, M = 15 %, Q = 25 %, H = 30 %. Für Drucksachen empfehlen wir mindestens Level M, für Logo-Overlays Level H.
Werden meine Daten an einen Server gesendet?
Nein. Der QR-Code wird komplett in deinem Browser erzeugt. Deine Eingabe verlässt dein Gerät nicht und wird auch nicht protokolliert. Das ist 100 % DSGVO-konform.
Wie scanne ich den QR-Code?
Jedes moderne Smartphone (iOS und Android) erkennt QR-Codes direkt über die eingebaute Kamera-App. Richte die Kamera einfach auf den Code, dann erscheint die Aktion (Webseite öffnen, WLAN verbinden, Kontakt speichern).
Läuft der QR-Code-Generator auch ohne Internet?
Sobald die Seite geladen ist, läuft die Generierung vollständig offline im Browser. Du kannst die Seite also auch unterwegs nutzen.
