QR Code Design Tips
Create visually appealing QR codes that still scan reliably.
QR codes can be customized while maintaining scannability.
Design Principles
1. Maintain contrast - Dark on light works best 2. Keep quiet zone - Border around the code 3. Don't obscure corners - Finder patterns must be visible 4. Test thoroughly - Check with multiple scanners
Customization Options
- Custom colors
- Logo in center
- Rounded corners
- Gradient effects
- Frame with text
Color Guidelines
| Good | Bad | |------|-----| | Black on white | Low contrast | | Dark blue on light | Similar colors | | Brand colors (high contrast) | Inverted colors |
Adding Logos
- Keep logo small (< 30% of code)
- Use high error correction (H level)
- Center position only
- Test after adding
Common Mistakes
1. Too much customization 2. Not testing 3. Printing too small 4. Low resolution export
