Tips for personal use QR codes

  • Print QR codes at a minimum of 2 × 2 cm for close-range scanning. Increase size for posters, signage, and displays.
  • Always test your QR code with multiple devices before printing. Verify the link loads correctly on both iPhone and Android.
  • Add a short call-to-action near the code — something like "Scan to learn more" or "Scan for details" improves scan rates.
  • Use high error correction (Q or H) if the code will be printed on textured materials or displayed outdoors.
