Frequently Asked Questions
Which format should I use - PNG or SVG?
Use PNG for web, emails, and social media - it's widely supported. Use SVG for print materials (posters, business cards) - it scales infinitely without losing quality!
How do I customize the colors?
Use the color input to pick your foreground (QR pattern) color. For best results, use a dark color on a light background. The background stays white for maximum scanner compatibility.
Why won't my QR code scan?
Three common issues: 1) Content too long (keep it under 300 chars), 2) Size too small (use 200x200 or larger), 3) Not enough contrast. Try darker colors on white!
Can I put a logo in the center?
Not with this free tool (requires advanced generators), but adding a center logo can break scanning! Most scanners work best with plain QR codes. Keep it simple for reliability.
About the QR Code Generator

How to use it

- 2 Choose the size and colours.
- 3 Download the QR code and test-scan it before printing.
Frequently asked questions
Do these QR codes expire?
No. They are static codes with the content stored inside them, so they work for as long as the link they point to works.
Can I change the link after printing?
Not with a static code. To change the destination later, point the QR code at a short link you control, such as one from our URL Shortener.
What size should a printed QR code be?
At least 2 × 2 cm (0.8 × 0.8 in) for close scanning. For a poster read from a distance, make it about one tenth of the scanning distance.
