QR CODE GUIDE
Everything you need to create a QR code that works
A good QR code is more than a pattern of squares. The right format, contrast, size, and error correction help it scan quickly on screens, packaging, menus, business cards, and signs.
What is a QR code?
A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that stores information such as a website URL, plain text, or Wi-Fi credentials. A phone camera reads the pattern and opens the encoded content.
Static vs. dynamic QR codes
WebToolBay creates static QR codes: the destination is stored directly in the code, so the code does not expire. A dynamic QR code redirects through a hosted service and can be edited later.
Privacy by default
Your content and logo are processed in your browser. WebToolBay does not upload or store the information used to generate your code.
PNG OR SVG?
Choose the right download format
Both formats contain the same QR data. Choose based on where the finished code will be used.
Best for screens
Use PNG for websites, presentations, social media, and documents at a fixed size.
- Widely supported
- Ready to share
- Choose high resolution for print
Best for design and print
Use SVG when the QR code will be placed in a design file, resized, or printed on signs and packaging.
- Scales without blur
- Ideal for professional printing
- Works in most design software
ERROR CORRECTION
How much recovery do you need?
Error correction lets a QR code remain readable when part of the pattern is dirty, damaged, or covered by a small center logo. Higher recovery creates a denser code.

PRINT & DESIGN
Make your QR code easy to scan
Use dark modules on a light background. Avoid similar foreground and background colors.
Leave the clear border around the code untouched. Do not crop it or place text inside it.
For close-range print, start around 25 mm (1 inch). Increase the code size as scanning distance increases.
Use high error correction and keep the center logo below roughly 20% of the total QR width.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Why won’t my QR code scan?
Colors are too similar
Increase contrast between modules and background. Dark navy on white is usually safer than two medium-tone colors.
The code is too small
Export at a larger size and make sure individual modules remain sharp in the final design.
The quiet zone was cropped
Restore the blank margin around all four sides. Nearby text or artwork can interfere with detection.
The logo covers too much
Reduce the logo size and use High error correction. Important data modules still need to remain visible.
The printed surface is difficult
Gloss, folds, curves, texture, and poor lighting can reduce readability. Test on the real material.
The destination is unavailable
The code may scan correctly even when its website does not load. Check the encoded URL and HTTPS connection.
