Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about the generator, the WearSocials app and your code wallet.

General

What is a QR Code generator?

A QR Code generator is an online tool that creates scannable QR codes for digital content sharing. ime.bio's QR code generator supports multiple formats including URLs, social media profiles, contact information, and WiFi credentials, with advanced customization options for both personal and business use.

Are QR Codes free?

Yes. Creating codes on ime.bio is free, with no sign-up, no watermarks and no limit on how many you make. The WearSocials Android app is free to start; an optional Premium unlock adds things like unlimited codes and folders, favorites, home-screen and watch shortcuts, CSV import/export and the share-image designer.

Can I use the generated QR Codes for commercial purposes?

Yes. Codes you create here are yours to use in personal and commercial projects: flyers, business cards, packaging, menus or signage.

What kind of information can be stored in a QR Code?

QR codes can store diverse types of data: website URLs, social media profiles (WhatsApp, Telegram, FaceTime), contact information (vCard), WiFi credentials, phone numbers, SMS messages, email addresses, calendar events, and geographic locations. Each format is optimized for quick scanning and reliable data transfer.

How long are QR Codes valid for? Do they expire?

ime.bio's static QR codes are permanent and never expire, functioning indefinitely when properly maintained.

Is there a scan limit for the QR Codes?

ime.bio places no limits on QR code scans. Static QR codes offer unlimited scans forever.

How do I manage QR Codes with a QR Code generator?

Sign in with Google to open your web wallet. It shows every code you saved in the WearSocials app, organized in the same folders and order, with favorites and your scan history. Changes you make on your phone appear in the wallet automatically.

Scanning & Printing

How to read/scan a QR Code?

Modern smartphones make QR code scanning effortless. On iPhone (iOS 11+) and Android (9+), simply open your camera app and point it at the QR code - a notification will appear to open the content. For older devices, free QR code scanner apps are available from your app store.

Can QR Codes be scanned without an app?

Yes! Most modern smartphones (iOS and Android) can scan QR codes directly through their built-in camera apps without needing additional software. Just open your camera app and point it at the QR code - a notification will appear to open the content.

Can my smartphone scan QR Codes?

Modern smartphones include built-in QR code scanning capabilities. iOS devices (version 11+) and Android phones (version 9+) can scan directly through the native camera app. For older devices, ime.bio recommends free QR scanner apps available on your device's app store.

What should I know before printing my QR Code?

For optimal QR code printing: 1) Ensure high contrast (dark code on light background), 2) Maintain minimum 2x2 cm size, 3) Include quiet zones (white space around code), 4) Use vector format (SVG) for best quality, 5) Test scan before mass production, 6) Consider weather resistance for outdoor use. Higher error correction levels recommended for public display.

What is the minimum size of a QR Code?

For optimal scanning, ime.bio recommends a minimum QR code size of 2x2 cm (0.8 inches). Follow our 10:1 ratio guideline - for every 10cm scanning distance, increase code size by 1cm. Our generator automatically optimizes the code pattern density for your chosen dimensions.

Why is my QR Code not working?

Common QR code scanning issues have simple solutions: 1) Ensure minimum 2x2 cm size, 2) Maintain high contrast ratio, 3) Avoid code damage, 4) Use appropriate scanning distance, 5) Verify content format compatibility. ime.bio's generator includes built-in optimization to prevent most common issues.

Creating & Designing

What graphic formats do the generated QR Codes support?

Download any code as PNG for screens and messages, or as SVG for print, where it stays sharp at any size. You can also copy the image straight to your clipboard.

Can I customize my codes?

Yes. Give a code a title and a color here, and it previews exactly as it will look in your wallet. In the app you can also add your own logo on top of a code and design shareable images with themes, gradients and borders.

What happens if a QR code is damaged?

QR codes carry built-in error correction, so a scratched or partly covered code usually still scans. ime.bio uses a balanced correction level that keeps codes compact and reliable. For outdoor or high-wear places, print the code larger and with plenty of white space around it.
