Why is the web download file limited to 256×256 resolution?

256×256 px is a lightweight standard definition preview suitable for testing or digital screen sharing. For high-resolution physical printing on flyers, menus, banners, and business cards, download the free TinyQR mobile app to export 2K and 4K Ultra HD (300 DPI) razor-sharp files.

Can I add custom colors, eye shapes, and frames in the app?

Yes! The TinyQR mobile app provides a full design studio with custom eye corner shapes, dot patterns, rich foreground/background color gradients, center brand logos, creation history management, and 200+ pre-designed frames.

Do QR codes created with TinyQR ever expire?

Never! TinyQR creates permanent, direct static QR codes. Because the encoded data is stored directly in the pattern without routing through third-party redirect servers, your QR codes will work indefinitely without subscription renewals.

How do I ensure my printed QR code scans easily?

For best results, maintain high contrast between foreground dots and the background, avoid printing smaller than 2×2 cm (0.8×0.8 inches), and export in 2K high-resolution from the TinyQR app so edges remain razor-sharp when printed.

Why 256px Isn't Enough for
Real-World Printing.

A 256×256 pixel image looks fine on phone screens, but when printed on physical menus, business cards, flyers, or banners, low-resolution images become blurry and smartphones fail to scan them.
