QR Code Best Practices
- • Keep it simple: Short URLs work better. Use URL shorteners if needed.
- • Test before printing: Always scan your QR code with multiple phones before printing it on materials.
- • High contrast: Dark codes on light backgrounds scan most reliably.
- • Add white border: Leave at least 10% white space around the code — called a "quiet zone."
- • Size matters: Printed QR codes should be at least 2cm × 2cm. The larger the better for scanning.
WiFi QR Codes — Super Useful
One of the most practical uses for QR codes is sharing WiFi. Instead of telling guests your password (which is often long and complex), just let them scan a QR code. Our tool supports WPA/WPA2, WPA3, and open networks, and can include hidden network SSIDs.
