5 QR Code Tips for Better Scans

Improve scan rates with contrast, size, and error correction best practices.

• Use high contrast between the QR dots and background — dark on light works best.
• Keep logos under 30% of the code area and set error correction to Q or H.
• Minimum print size is 2 × 2 cm with a quiet zone margin on all sides.
• Test with multiple phone cameras before printing marketing materials.
• Download SVG for print; PNG works well for digital screens.
