Quick Tips for Better QR Codes

Follow these expert recommendations to create QR codes that are reliable, scannable, and effective for your specific use case.

Test Before Sharing

Always scan your QR code with multiple devices before using it publicly to ensure it works correctly across different platforms and scanning apps.

Maintain Good Contrast

Ensure strong contrast between the QR code and background. Dark code on light background works best. Avoid low contrast color combinations.

Size Matters

Print QR codes at least 2x2 cm (0.8x0.8 inches) for optimal scanning. Larger sizes work better for viewing from distance.

Keep URLs Short

Shorter URLs create simpler QR codes that are easier to scan. Use URL shorteners for long links to improve scannability.

Add Error Correction

Higher error correction levels make QR codes more robust but also larger. Balance between reliability and size based on your use case.

Regular Testing

Periodically check that your QR codes still work, especially for URLs that might change or expire over time.
