Understanding QR Codes

Quick Response: QR codes store data in 2D matrix patterns, readable by smartphones and dedicated scanners
Error Correction: Built-in redundancy allows QR codes to function even when 30% damaged
Data Types: Can store text, URLs, contact info (vCard), WiFi credentials, and more
Static vs Dynamic: Static QR codes embed data directly; dynamic codes link to changeable content
Scanning Process: Camera detects positioning markers, decodes matrix pattern, and executes action

Tips & Best Practices

Size Matters: Ensure QR codes are at least 2×2 cm (0.8×0.8 in) for reliable smartphone scanning
High Contrast: Use dark foreground on light background for optimal readability
Error Correction: Use higher levels (25-30%) for outdoor use or when damage is likely
Test Before Printing: Always verify QR codes work on different devices and apps
URL Shortening: Use short URLs to create simpler QR codes with better scanning reliability
Clear Instructions: Add "Scan with camera" text near QR codes for user guidance
Strategic Placement: Position at eye level and in well-lit areas for easy scanning
Format Choice: Use PNG for print materials and digital displays to maintain quality
