QR Code Types Explained
Choose the right type for your use case.
URL. Link to websites, landing pages, or any online resource. Supports multiple URLs in one code. Most common QR code type. Great for restaurants (menus) and real estate (property listings).
Text. Encode any plain text message. Useful for instructions, messages, or information that doesn't need a website.
Email. Pre-fill recipient address, subject, and body. Scanning opens the email app ready to send.
Phone. One scan initiates a phone call. Great for contact cards and customer service.
SMS. Opens messaging app with pre-filled phone number and optional message text.
Contact (vCard). Complete digital business card with name, organization, phone, email, website, and address. Scanning adds contact directly to phone.
WiFi. Share network credentials (name, password, encryption type) for instant connection. Mark hidden networks if needed.
App. Link to App Store, Google Play, or any app store URL. Perfect for app promotion.
Styling Options
Create branded, professional QR codes.
Squares (Classic). The traditional QR code look. Highest compatibility with all scanners.
Dots (Modern). Circular modules for a contemporary appearance. Works with all modern smartphone cameras.
Rounded. Square modules with rounded corners. Balance between classic and modern.
Corner radius. For squares and rounded styles, adjust how rounded the corners are (0-50%).
Colors. Set foreground (the dark modules) and background colors. Ensure sufficient contrast for scannability.
Logo overlay. Upload your logo to place in the QR code center. Keep logos small—they replace data modules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can QR codes with logos still be scanned?
Yes, due to error correction built into QR codes. The logo replaces up to 30% of data modules while remaining scannable. Keep logos simple and centered for best results.
What colors work best for QR codes?
High contrast is essential. Dark foreground on light background (like black on white) works best. Avoid low-contrast combinations. The foreground should be darker than the background.
How big should I print my QR code?
Minimum size depends on scanning distance. For close scanning (business cards), 2cm x 2cm works. For posters or signs viewed from distance, scale up proportionally.
Do QR codes expire?
QR codes themselves don't expire—they're just encoded data. However, if the URL they point to becomes invalid or changes, the QR code effectively stops working.
Can I track QR code scans?
The QR code itself doesn't track. To track scans, use a URL shortener with analytics (like bit.ly) as your QR code destination. This records scan counts, times, and locations.
