Best Practices

Size and Placement

  • Minimum print size: 2 x 2 cm (0.8 x 0.8 inches)
  • Place QR codes at eye level when possible
  • Ensure adequate white space around the code
  • Larger codes are easier to scan from a distance

Color and Contrast

  • Use high contrast between the code and background
  • Dark code on light background works best
  • Avoid light colors on light backgrounds
  • Test your QR code in different lighting conditions

Testing

  • Always test your QR code before printing or distributing
  • Test with multiple devices and QR code readers
  • Verify the destination URL or content is correct
  • Check that the code scans from various distances

Content Guidelines

  • Keep URLs short when possible (use URL shorteners if needed)
  • Ensure destination pages are mobile-friendly
  • Use HTTPS for secure connections
  • Avoid encoding sensitive information in plain text

💡 Tips for Success

  • Use URL shorteners: For long URLs, use services like Bitly to create shorter links that are easier to encode and scan.
  • Add a call-to-action: Include text like "Scan to visit our website" near your QR code to encourage scanning.
  • Consider your audience: Ensure your target audience knows how to scan QR codes and has the necessary technology.
  • Monitor and update: If you use URL shorteners, you can update the destination without changing the QR code.
  • Brand consistency: Use your brand colors and logo to make QR codes recognizable and trustworthy.
