How to create a QR code
A QR can connect a physical item to a webpage, conversation, or digital instruction. Generation runs in your browser; always check its destination before distributing it.
Design for scanning
Keep strong contrast, a clear margin, and a size suited to the viewing distance.
Test the code in print and on screen before using it in a campaign or document.
The destination matters
A QR represents the content you include. Check that the URL is correct and its landing page works on mobile.
Do not use a QR as a substitute for a secure channel for highly sensitive data.
Frequently asked questions
What can I put in a QR code?
You can encode links, text, and other data supported by the tool.
Should I test it before printing?

Do QR codes expire?
A static code keeps representing its original content; a URL can stop working if its destination changes.
Can I use it on posters?
Yes, if you keep enough size, contrast, and clear space.
