What are QR Codes?

QR (Quick Response) codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can store various types of data. They can be scanned by smartphones to quickly access information.

Types of QR Code Content

URL QR Codes

Direct users to websites, landing pages, or online resources.

WiFi QR Codes

Allow instant connection to WiFi networks without typing passwords.

vCard QR Codes

Share contact information that can be saved directly to phones.

Email/SMS QR Codes

Pre-compose emails or text messages for users.

QR Code Design Tips

  • Maintain contrast: Dark modules on light background work best
  • Size matters: Ensure QR codes are large enough to scan
  • Error correction: Use higher error correction for printed materials
  • Test scanning: Always test with multiple devices
  • Add a call to action: Tell users what they'll get by scanning
  • Error Correction Levels

  • L (Low): 7% damage tolerance
  • M (Medium): 15% damage tolerance
  • Q (Quartile): 25% damage tolerance
  • H (High): 30% damage tolerance
  • Higher error correction allows for more damage but requires a larger QR code.
