QR code generator best practices for print and web

A QR code that looks good but scans poorly is a failed handoff. Good configuration matters.

Key rules for scannability

  • Keep high contrast between foreground and background.
  • Use enough size for the viewing distance.
  • Do not over-pack long content when a short URL works.

Create QR codes in 4 steps

  1. Open the QR Code Generator.
  2. Paste URL, text, Wi-Fi info, or contact payload.
  3. Tune colors, size, and error correction.
  4. Download PNG or SVG.

PNG vs SVG

  • PNG: quick digital sharing.
  • SVG: print materials and scalable layouts.
