Frequently Asked Questions

What's the biggest mistake people make with QR codes?

Making them too small or encoding too much data. For reliable scanning, a QR code should be at least 2cm × 2cm in print with adequate white space. Use a URL shortener to reduce data density.

Are colored QR codes as reliable as black and white?

Generally no. Ensure at least 70% contrast between modules and background. Dark on light works best. Avoid gradients and inverted colors. Always test with multiple devices.

Which error correction level should I use?

Medium (M) for most marketing materials. Quartile (Q) or High (H) for outdoor displays, packaging, or codes with logos embedded. Low (L) only for digital-only contexts.

How can I track QR code scans?

Use dynamic QR codes with built-in analytics (like QR8R provides). This lets you track scan counts, locations, devices, and times without requiring UTM parameters.
