URL validation ensures you create a working QR code. If you forget to include "https://", we add it automatically. This prevents broken QR codes that lead nowhere.

Question 10

Answer

Yes. Open the Advanced Options panel and upload your logo (PNG, under 200KB). The logo is automatically placed in the center of the QR code. Error correction is set to High (H) to ensure the QR remains scannable. The logo is applied to both the card preview and exported downloads.

Question 11

What is error correction and which level should I use? +

Answer

Error correction allows QR codes to be scanned even if partially damaged or obscured. L (Low 7%) for simple codes, M (Medium 15%) for general use, Q (Quartile 25%) for higher durability, H (High 30%) recommended when adding a logo or for maximum reliability. Higher levels create denser QR codes.

Question 15

What is the difference between static and dynamic QR codes? +

Answer

Static QR codes encode the URL directly and never expire. Dynamic QR codes use a short URL that can be redirected later but require a server and often a paid service. URSAQR generates static codes for simplicity and privacy.
