Things to Know

• Adobe Express generates static QR codes.
• If the destination URL changes, you must generate a new QR code.
• The QR code itself does not expire, but the destination link may become unavailable.
• Avoid placing QR codes on backgrounds that make them difficult to scan.
• For College resources, confirm that the intended audience has permission to access the destination.
