Common Use Cases
Marketing and Advertising

Restaurant Menus

Business Cards and Networking
Include a QR code on business cards that links to your LinkedIn profile, portfolio website, or digital business card with full contact details.
Event Check-in and Tickets
Generate unique QR codes for event tickets, conference badges, or venue access. Scan for quick check-in and attendance tracking.
Best Practices
Test your QR code before printing
Always scan your QR code with multiple devices and apps to ensure it works correctly. Test in different lighting conditions if it will be used outdoors.
Use appropriate error correction
For print materials that might get damaged, use higher error correction (Q or H). For digital use where the code will stay pristine, lower levels (L or M) work fine.
Ensure adequate contrast
QR codes need good contrast between foreground and background colors to scan reliably. Dark on light works best. Avoid low-contrast color combinations.
Size matters for scanning distance
The scanning distance is roughly 10 times the QR code width. A 1-inch code scans from about 10 inches away. Make codes larger for billboards or posters.
Use URL shorteners for cleaner codes
Longer URLs create more complex QR codes. Use URL shorteners for long links to create simpler, more reliable codes that scan faster.
