What should I put in a QR code?

Short HTTPS links work best. Prefer a stable URL over a huge block of raw text when possible.

The code itself does not expire, but the destination link can. Keep the target URL online.

Is generation private?

Yes. Encoding runs in your browser; content is not uploaded to our servers.
