Big and simple enough to scan from across a car park, which a phone number on a van is not.
Scan and the number is in the dialler, ready to ring. Nobody squints at a poster and misdials the last two digits.
No manual required — but here's the whole flow, start to finish.
Enter the number in full international format (+44…, +91…) so it works for people abroad
Check the preview — a short number makes a small, chunky code that scans beautifully

Scan it and confirm the dialler shows the number before you commit it to print

No. The code is drawn in your browser with JavaScript — nothing you type is sent to AroraLabs or to any other server, and nothing is stored. You can prove it: load the tool, go offline, and it still works.
