Keep the content short. A long URL makes a denser code, which needs to be printed larger or scanned closer.

Print at least 2 × 2 cm for a code scanned at arm’s length, and leave the white margin — crowding it is the usual reason a code will not read.

Questions

PNG or SVG?
SVG for anything printed large — a poster or a banner — because it stays sharp at any size. PNG for a screen or a small print where the resolution is already enough.
How does the wifi one work?
It encodes the network name, password and security type in the format phones recognise, so scanning it joins the network without anybody typing the password.
Does the code stop working if I delete it here?
No. The code holds your data directly — there is no server or link in between, so it works forever and offline.
