Creative Ways to Use QR Codes
- Contactless Menus & Catalogs - Allow customers to scan a code on their table to view your offerings instantly on their phone.
- App Downloads - Direct users straight to the App Store or Google Play store to download your application.
- Event Registration - Add a code to physical invitations that links directly to an RSVP or ticketing page.
Best Practices for QR Codes
- Maintain High Contrast - Always ensure the QR code is significantly darker than the background color so smartphone cameras can easily read it.
- Size Matters - Make sure the printed code is large enough to scan. A general rule of thumb is a minimum size of 2x2 cm (0.8x0.8 inches).
- Track Your Scans - Add UTM parameters to your destination URL before generating the code so you can track scans in your analytics platform.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do these QR codes expire?
No! The QR codes generated here are static, meaning they embed the destination URL directly into the code itself. They will work forever as long as your destination URL remains active.
How do I track how many people scan my QR code?
To track scans, generate a link using our UTM Generator first, then paste that trackable link into this QR Code Generator. When people scan the code, your analytics tool (like Swetrix) will track the traffic as a campaign.
What is the best size for a QR code?
For print materials like business cards, a QR code should be at least 2x2 cm (0.8x0.8 inches). For posters or billboards, it needs to be much larger depending on the scanning distance.
Can I change the colors of my QR code?
Yes, you can customize the foreground and background colors. However, make sure to maintain high contrast between the code (darker) and the background (lighter) so smartphone cameras can read it easily.
