Sizing for print
As a rule of thumb a code should be at least a tenth of the distance it will be scanned from — a code read from one metre away should be about 10 cm wide. Keep the white quiet zone around it and avoid placing it in a fold or near a trim edge.
Other formats
Need to hand a designer editable artwork instead? Export SVG. For screens, PNG is the simpler choice.
Built on your device
Your QR code is rendered in your browser with JavaScript — the text, URL, password or contact details you type are never sent to our servers. We only record anonymous usage counts (the QR type and how many characters it contained) so we can keep the tool healthy. Content is only stored if you sign in and explicitly save a code to your history. The PDF is assembled in the browser too.
