Error Correction Levels
Error Correction Explained
QR codes include error correction data that allows them to be read even when partially damaged, dirty, or obscured. Higher levels provide more resilience but create larger, more complex codes.
When to Use Each Level
Design Guidelines
✅ Best Practices
- High contrast: Use dark QR code on light background
- Sufficient size: Minimum 2cm × 2cm for reliable scanning
- Quiet zone: Leave white space around the QR code
- Test thoroughly: Scan with multiple devices before use
- Print quality: Use high-resolution for printed materials
❌ Avoid These Mistakes
- Low contrast: Similar colors make scanning difficult
- Too small: Tiny QR codes are hard to scan

- Over-customization: Excessive styling can prevent scanning
- Poor placement: Reflective surfaces or awkward angles

Are the generated QR codes free to use commercially?
Yes, all QR codes generated by our tool are free to use for both personal and commercial purposes without any restrictions or attribution requirements.
What's the maximum amount of data I can store in a QR code?
QR codes can store up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters, but practical limits are lower depending on error correction level and the scanning device's capabilities.
Which format should I choose for printing?
For professional printing, use SVG format as it's vector-based and scales without quality loss. For simple printing, high-resolution PNG (1000px+) works well.
Do QR codes expire or stop working?
QR codes themselves don't expire, but the content they link to might change or become unavailable. Static QR codes (like ours) are permanent.
Can I track scans of my QR codes?
Our tool creates static QR codes that don't include tracking. For analytics, you'd need to use URL shorteners with tracking or dynamic QR code services.
What's the minimum size for a scannable QR code?
Generally, QR codes should be at least 2cm × 2cm (about 0.8 inches) for reliable scanning, but this depends on the scanning distance and device.
