Creating QR codes for real-world use?

Read the QR guide to choose the right QR type and avoid codes that scan poorly on print, menus, stickers, or cards.

What the QR Code Generator Creates

The QR code generator turns a URL, message, or plain text into a scannable image that can be downloaded for print, packaging, menus, flyers, labels, and presentations.

Check Scan Quality

Before printing, scan the QR code with more than one phone. Check destination spelling, contrast, quiet zone, image size, and whether the code still works after resizing.

When to Use a Dedicated QR Tool

Use the general QR generator for simple links and text. Use Wi-Fi QR, vCard QR, map QR, SMS QR, or email QR pages when the QR needs a structured payload.

Frequently Asked Questions

What error correction level should I choose?

Level M (medium, 15%) is suitable for most uses. Use level H (high, 30%) when the QR code may be partially obscured by a logo or when printing on surfaces that may be worn.

What is the minimum size for a printable QR code?

Print QR codes at a minimum of 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm (about 1 inch square) for reliable scanning from a standard phone distance.

Can I add a logo in the centre of the QR code?

Yes, using a high error correction level. The logo covers some of the code but error correction allows the data to be read even with up to 30% of the code obscured.
