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
- Open the QR Code Generator.
- Paste URL, text, Wi-Fi info, or contact payload.
- Tune colors, size, and error correction.
- Download PNG or SVG.
PNG vs SVG
- PNG: quick digital sharing.
- SVG: print materials and scalable layouts.
