== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I add my logo to the QR code? =

Yes! You can upload your logo and it will be placed in the center of the QR code. For best scanning results, use a simple logo with high contrast and keep the size small (30-40px recommended).

= What content types can I encode in the QR code? =

You can encode URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS messages, WhatsApp messages, vCard (contact information), and WiFi network credentials.

= Will the QR code still scan if I customize the colors? =

Yes, as long as there is sufficient contrast between the foreground and background colors. For best results, use dark colors for the foreground and light colors for the background.

= What's the difference between the error correction levels? =

Error correction allows a QR code to be readable even if a portion of it is damaged or obscured:
* L (Low): 7% of data can be restored
* M (Medium): 15% of data can be restored
* Q (Quartile): 25% of data can be restored
* H (High): 30% of data can be restored

When adding a logo, the error correction is automatically set to High (H) for better scanning reliability.

= Is there a limit to how much data I can encode? =

Yes, QR codes have a maximum capacity depending on the content type and error correction level. For best results, keep your content concise.
