Tips for a Perfect QR Code
- Always test it before printing — scan with 2-3 different phones.
- High contrast is key — dark pattern on light background works best.
- Minimum print size: 2cm × 2cm for reliable scanning.
- Don't add too much data — shorter URLs scan faster.
- Use a URL shortener if your link is very long.
