Customize a QR code while preserving reliable scanning. The final downloaded or printed version is what you need to test, not only the preview inside the builder.
Which design controls are available?
- Style: the QR pattern and inner and outer eye shapes.
- Colors: the available foreground and background color choices.
- Frame: the frame design and any supported frame text.
- Branding: the available logo or image options.
- Options: additional generation controls offered by the selected template.
How should I test a design?
- Start with a simple, high-contrast code that scans correctly.
- Change one design element at a time and wait for the preview to update.
- Keep a clear border around the code and avoid covering its recognition corners.
- Download the version you will use. Test it on more than one phone if possible.
- For print, make a sample at the actual size and test it under the lighting and distance people will use.
Why does a logo or gradient reduce readability?
Low contrast, a busy background, or an image covering too much of the pattern can make a scanner struggle. If a code fails, return to a plain design, remove the logo temporarily, and make the printed code larger before adding decoration back.
What should I give the printer?
Supply a sharp, suitably sized export in a format the printer accepts. Avoid screenshots of a small code or heavy image compression. Keep the intended destination and a tested master file with your artwork so the correct code is used in the final layout.
