Best practices for better scans
- Contrast: dark foreground on light background; avoid low-contrast gradients.
- Quiet zone: leave a clear margin around the code (about 4 modules).
- Right size: as a rule of thumb, code size ≈ viewing distance × 10. Posters need larger codes.
- Short links: shorter URLs make less dense codes that scan faster.
- Print format: download SVG for print, PNG for screens.
Popular things to encode
- Link: your website, menu, portfolio, or event page.
- Wi-Fi: SSID and password for easy guest access.
- Contact: a vCard or a link to your socials.
- Text: simple instructions or a coupon code.
