2. Pick a size. Larger is better for posters and packaging.
3. Press Download PNG and place the image in your design.

Tips for QR codes that scan well

• Use a short link. Shorter content makes a simpler code with bigger squares, which scans faster and survives small print sizes.
• Keep strong contrast. Dark code on a light background works best.
• Leave a blank margin around the code and print it at least 2 cm wide.
• Test before printing. Scan it with two different phones.

Want to see how many people scan it?

A QR code that holds a plain website address cannot tell you how often it was scanned. Create a short link with 0h.vc, put that short link in the QR code, and the dashboard shows every scan by day, country and device. You can also change where the link points later without reprinting the code.
