QR Code Best Practices
Learn how to create QR codes that remain easy to scan in print and on screens.
Use strong contrast
Dark modules on a light background are a reliable default. Avoid low-contrast combinations and busy photographic backgrounds.
Give the code room
Leave a clean margin around the symbol. On printed material, test the real size and viewing distance rather than relying only on a monitor preview.
Test before publishing
Scan the final version from several phones. If the code opens a URL, verify that the destination is correct, secure and mobile-friendly.
Tip: Use our free tools to test your code, then scan the final version before sharing or printing it.
