QR Code Best Practices

Follow these guidelines to create effective and scannable QR codes

✅ Do This

  • • Test QR codes on multiple devices before printing
  • • Use high contrast colors (dark on light background)
  • • Include a call-to-action near the QR code
  • • Choose appropriate size for viewing distance
  • • Use Medium or High error correction for outdoor use
  • • Keep URLs short to reduce QR code complexity
  • • Add a quiet zone (white space) around the QR code
  • • Use branded colors while maintaining readability

❌ Avoid This

  • • Don't use low contrast color combinations
  • • Avoid making QR codes too small to scan
  • • Don't place QR codes on curved or textured surfaces
  • • Never use negative colors (light on dark) outdoors
  • • Don't compress or distort QR code images
  • • Avoid placing QR codes in hard-to-reach locations
  • • Don't use QR codes without explaining their purpose
  • • Never use extremely long URLs without URL shorteners

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of content can I encode in a QR code?

Our QR code generator supports various content types including URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS messages, WiFi credentials, vCard contact information, calendar events, and GPS coordinates. Each type is automatically formatted for optimal device compatibility.

Are the QR codes generated by your tool free to use?

Yes, all QR codes generated by our tool are completely free to use for both personal and commercial purposes. There are no hidden fees, watermarks, or usage limitations. You own the QR codes you create.

Do QR codes expire or stop working over time?

Static QR codes (like the ones our tool generates) never expire. They contain the actual data encoded within them, so they will work forever as long as the QR code image remains intact and scannable.

What's the difference between error correction levels?

Error correction allows QR codes to be read even when partially damaged. Low (7%) is for clean environments, Medium (15%) for general use, Quartile (25%) for outdoor or printed materials, and High (30%) for harsh conditions where damage is likely.

Can I customize the colors and appearance of my QR codes?

Yes! Our tool allows you to customize foreground and background colors, adjust size, modify error correction levels, and choose between PNG, JPEG, and SVG formats. Just ensure sufficient contrast for reliable scanning.

How do I ensure my QR code scans properly?

Test your QR code on multiple devices and apps, ensure high contrast between colors, make it large enough for the intended viewing distance, and include a quiet zone (white space) around the code. Our tool generates standard-compliant QR codes that work with all major scanning apps.

Is my data secure when using this QR code generator?

Absolutely. All QR code generation happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. No data is ever transmitted to our servers or stored anywhere. Your privacy and security are completely protected.

What size should I make my QR code for printing?

The general rule is that QR codes should be at least 1 inch (2.5cm) for every 3 feet (1 meter) of scanning distance. For business cards, 0.5-1 inch works well. For posters or billboards, much larger sizes are needed. Always test before final printing.
