직접 QR / Direct QR: https://example.com/menu 단축 QR / Short-link QR: 생성한 공개 단축 URL / generated public short URL 두 이미지의 입력 주소는 다름 / encoded addresses differ
Steps to verify
- Identify destination-control and activity needs.
- Create the image from the selected public URL.
- Verify the decoded address.
How to interpret the result
A direct QR keeps opening its original. A short-link QR follows that link’s availability and saved destination. Shortening and QR creation remain separate steps.
Deciding what to do next
For planned changes, do not print a direct QR and assume management can be attached later. Prepare the manageable short URL first and verify it on the print.
Feature scope
Generate PNG codes for HTTP/HTTPS URLs without visiting destinations. This is not a text or Wi-Fi generator; test the final printed material separately.
Frequently asked questions
Does a direct QR automatically become a short-link QR?
No. The encoded input is what matters; enter the generated public short URL to use that link.
