Tips for Best Results:

• For URLs, always include “http://” or “https://” for maximum compatibility
• For contacts, include at least a name for proper vCard formatting
• Test your QR code with your phone’s camera before distributing
• Dark colors on light backgrounds work best for scanning reliability
• Larger sizes are better for printing, smaller sizes for digital use

The tool automatically handles all the technical formatting for each QR code type, so you just need to focus on entering your content and customizing the appearance.
