Troubleshooting

Upload says "Invalid format"

Ensure your CSV uses UTF-8 encoding and has proper headers. Check for extra commas or special characters.

Some QR codes are missing

Check for empty rows in your CSV. Each row must have required data fields filled.

ZIP download is slow

Large batches (>1000 codes) may take time. The process runs locally, so performance depends on your device.

QR codes look blurry when printed

Increase the size to at least 300px and use extra scan protection for print materials.
