numcal. / QR — PLATE 05

QR codes,
presentable.

Links, WiFi, plain text — drawn with shapes and colors you’d actually put on a poster. Free, no signup, never expires, and generated in your browser: nothing you type leaves the page.

WHAT SHOULD IT OPEN?
MODULES — THE LITTLE SQUARES
EYES — THE THREE CORNERS
COLOR
LOGO IN THE MIDDLE (OPTIONAL — STAYS IN YOUR BROWSER)
FINE TUNING
Fill in the form —
the code draws itself.

Field notes

Does this QR code expire?

Never. The code you download contains your data itself — there is no shortlink, no redirect through our server, no account it belongs to. Services that “expire” QR codes are selling dynamic redirects; a static code like this one works as long as ink and paper do.

Is my data uploaded?

No. The code is computed and drawn entirely in your browser — content, colors and logo included. Nothing you type here reaches our server, which is also why the tool is fast.

Will a styled code still scan?

Yes, within reason — QR readers binarize the image, so shapes matter less than contrast. The rules of thumb: dark code on light background (not the reverse), contrast ratio 4:1 or better, quiet zone ≥ 4 modules, and if you add a logo keep it near 20% with error correction H. The generator warns you live when a choice threatens scannability — and always test the printed code with a phone camera before ordering 5,000 stickers.

SVG or PNG?

SVG for print and design work — infinitely sharp, editable in Inkscape or Illustrator, tiny file. PNG for pasting into documents and slides; 1024 px covers most uses, 2048 px for large prints. Transparent background works in both.

What do the error correction levels mean?

QR codes carry redundancy so damaged or obscured codes still read. L survives 7% damage, M 15%, Q 25%, H 30%. Higher levels make denser codes. M is right for clean digital use; H when a logo covers the middle or the code lives outdoors.
