Technical Guide

The tool uses the qrcode library to generate QR codes client-side on an HTML canvas element. QR codes use Reed-Solomon error correction, which means they can be read even when partially obscured (up to 30% at the highest error correction level). For print applications, generate at the highest resolution your design allows โ€” at least 300 DPI. For foreground/background color contrast, ensure a minimum contrast ratio for reliable scanning. Light foregrounds on dark backgrounds can cause scanning issues with some readers. The QR code version (complexity) automatically adjusts based on the URL length. Shorter URLs produce simpler, more easily scannable codes.

Tips & Best Practices

  • 1
    Use high contrast colors (dark on light) for reliable scanning
  • 2
    Test your QR code with multiple devices before printing
  • 3
    Minimum print size is 2ร—2 cm (about 0.8 inches) for reliable scanning
  • 4
    Keep URLs short โ€” shorter URLs produce simpler, more scannable QR codes
  • 5
    Add a small call-to-action near the QR code (e.g., "Scan to follow us")
