Frequently asked questions

Why should it start with https://?

When an address starts with http:// or https:// phones recognize it as a link for sure. Some cameras may show an address without it as plain text.

PNG or SVG?

PNG is good for sharing as an image and for putting in documents. SVG is a vector, so it stays sharp however large you print it.

Is a short or long address better?

A short address makes a less dense, easier-to-read code. For very long addresses it helps to shorten the link first.
