Getting QR codes to work in the real world

QR codes fail for boring, physical reasons far more often than technical ones — printed too small, placed where a phone cannot focus, or pointed at a URL that changed after the labels were printed.

Print bigger than feels necessary

A QR code needs roughly two centimetres square to scan reliably at arm's length, and more if it will be read from further away or in poor light. Keep a clear margin around all four sides — a code printed hard against a border or over a busy background will scan inconsistently, which in practice means people stop trying.

Point at something you control

Encode a URL on your own domain rather than a third-party short link. Short-link services disappear, change owners, and start charging. A code printed on a thousand labels outlives whichever provider seemed convenient the day it was made, and the URL inside it cannot be edited once it is on a wall.

Say what it does

A bare code on a shelf gets ignored. A line of text beneath it — 'scan to report a fault', 'scan for the manual' — is the difference between a code that gets used and one that becomes visual noise.

Common questions

How small can a QR code be?

About two centimetres square for reliable scanning at arm's length. Scale up for anything read from further away, and always leave a clear margin around the code.

Do QR codes expire?

The code itself never expires — it is just an encoded string. What breaks is the destination: if the URL inside it stops working, the code becomes useless. Encode a URL you control.

Is this QR code generator free?

Yes. No signup, no scan limits, no expiry, and no tracking added to your codes.
