  • The QR code updates instantly as you type.

Tips for QR codes that scan well

Keep enough plain margin (quiet zone) around the code and print it large enough — small, cluttered codes are hard to scan.

Test the code with a couple of phones before printing a batch, especially if you'll place it on packaging or a poster.
