Does the QR code ever expire?

No. The code holds your text directly, so there is no short link and no service of ours in the path. Nothing can expire and nobody can switch it off. It keeps working as long as the destination does.

Can the site see who scans the code?

No. The phone camera reads the code and the network does the rest. There is no redirect and no counter, which is also why no scan statistics exist to show.

Is the payload uploaded to a server?

No. The site is a set of static files, the QR encoder is a local script, and the page's security policy blocks every other origin, fonts included. Nothing you type leaves the tab, and it is not written to storage either.

Which export should I choose?

SVG for print or anything that gets scaled, PNG 2048 for large raster images such as slides, and PNG 512 for a web page or a document. The print sheet places twelve copies on one A4 page for stickers.

Which error correction level should I pick?

M covers fifteen percent damage and suits most work. Q and H are for codes printed small or placed where they can be scratched, at the cost of a denser pattern.

Does the Wi-Fi password go anywhere?

It is encoded in the image and nowhere else, with no request and no log. Anyone who can see the printed code can join the network, so treat it like the password written on a card.
