What is a Custom QR Code?
Standard QR codes consist of black dots on a white square. A custom QR code incorporates colors, gradients, rounded corners, frames, and logos. This makes the code visually appealing and aligns it with your brand identity, increasing scan rates by up to 30%.
Best Practices for Creating Scannable QR Codes
- Maintain High Contrast: Ensure there is a high contrast ratio between the foreground dots and the background. Avoid using white dots on light backgrounds.
- Error Correction Level: When embedding a logo in the center, configure the Error Correction Level to Quartile (25%) or High (30%). This ensures the QR code remains readable even with the center blocked.
- Test Before Printing: Always perform testing by scanning the generated image on multiple smartphones before deploying or printing it in large batches.
Understanding Data Formats
- URL: Connects directly to any web link when scanned.
- Wi-Fi Network: Auto-connects smartphones directly to your wireless network SSID without manually typing long security keys.
- vCard Contact Details: Encodes full names, phones, emails, and address configurations directly into the scanner’s local address book.
- E-mail & SMS: Formulates a pre-written subject line or message ready to be sent instantly by the scanner.
