How to ensure my QR code remains scannable after customization?
Follow these guidelines to maintain QR code scannability while customizing your design.
Color Guidelines:
- Use high contrast between QR code and background colors
- Dark QR code on light background works best
- Avoid using similar colors for foreground and background
Logo and Design Tips:
- Keep logo size moderate (not more than 30% of QR code area)
- Place logo in the center where error correction is highest
- Ensure logo doesn't cover critical QR code elements
Testing is Essential:
- Test your QR code on multiple devices (iPhone, Android)
- Try different QR code reader apps
- Test from various distances and lighting conditions
- Scan before bulk printing or distribution
Shape Considerations:
- Square eye-frame shapes scan faster than circular ones
- Avoid overly complex custom shapes
- Maintain clear edges and corners
Best Practice:
Always test your customized QR code thoroughly before finalizing to ensure reliable scanning across different devices and conditions.
