    Best Practices for QR Codes

  • Test before printing — Always scan your generated QR code to verify it works
  • Use high contrast — Dark QR code on light background scans best
  • Add a logo carefully — Keep it small enough that the QR code remains scannable
  • Consider the context — WiFi QR codes for lobbies, URL QR codes for flyers
  • Monitor scans — Use unique URLs per campaign to track effectiveness
  • Create your free QR code now — with themes, logos, and no signup required.
