Frequently Asked Questions

How big should a QR code be for print?

A common rule is to make the QR code roughly one tenth of the scanning distance, then test the final printed material on real phones.

Does the calculator guarantee every scan will work?

No. It gives a practical starting point. Final scan reliability still depends on contrast, quiet zone, material, lighting, camera quality, and destination complexity.

Should I use the safer print size?

Yes when space allows, especially for posters, windows, glossy materials, outdoor signs, or QR codes scanned by people walking past.
