QR code guide
How big should a QR code be when printed?
Learn how large to print a QR code, why white space matters, and how to test a QR code before printing menus, posters, cards or packaging.
There is no single perfect size
The right size depends on viewing distance, print quality and the amount of data stored in the code. A code on a business card can be smaller than one on a poster.
Leave clear space around the QR code
Do not crowd the code with text or graphics. A clear margin around the edges makes scanning more reliable.
Always test a physical proof
Before ordering a large print run, scan the printed version using more than one phone and from the distance people are likely to use.
