QR Code Best Practices
QR codes are a bridge between physical and digital — but a few small choices make the difference between a code people actually scan and one they ignore. The ISO/IEC 18004 standard defines the technical format, and most modern phones (iOS 11+ and Android 9+) scan QR codes natively from the camera app — no extra download required.
Choose the right error correction level
QR codes include built-in error correction (L, M, Q, H) that lets them be read even when partially obscured. We default to level H (30% recovery) so that a centered logo never breaks scannability. If you don't add a logo, level M (15%) gives a denser, easier-to-scan code at small sizes.
Pick the right size for the medium
As a rule of thumb, a printed QR code should be at least 2 × 2 cm (roughly 1 inch square) for comfortable scanning from arm's length. For posters seen from across a room, scale to 10 × 10 cm or larger. We support 150–600 px exports — pick PNG for web, SVG for print.
Test before you print
Always scan your generated code with at least two different phones before mass-printing business cards, packaging, or signage. Accessibility best practices also recommend pairing QR codes with a short text label (e.g. "Scan to view menu") so screen-reader users can participate.
When to use a static vs. dynamic QR code
Static QR codes (the kind this tool generates) encode the destination URL directly into the pattern — they never expire and never need a subscription. Dynamic QR codes redirect through a server so you can change the destination later, but they require a paid service and a privacy trade-off. For most small-business and personal use cases, static codes are the better choice.
