Download at 512px for print — gives the sharpest result when scaled up. Always test with two different phones before distributing. Keep at least 4mm of white space around all four edges.

Static QR codes like these never expire. The destination is encoded directly in the pattern. If you change your URL you will need to generate a new code — so use a permanent URL where possible.
