Size

Colors

  • QR Code Color: The color of the actual QR code squares (default: black)
  • Background Color: The background color behind the QR code (default: white)

Color Format Options: You can use different color formats:

  • Click the color picker for a visual selection
  • HEX: Type directly like #FF0000 for red
  • RGB: Use rgb(255, 0, 0) format
  • RGBA: Add transparency with rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.8)
  • Named Colors: Use words like red, blue, darkgreen

Corner Style

  • Sharp Corners: Traditional square QR code appearance
  • Rounded Corners: Modern look with adjustable border radius (0-30px)

Error Correction

Choose how resilient your QR code is to damage or poor scanning conditions:

  • Low (7%): Smallest QR code, but less reliable if damaged
  • Medium (15%): Good balance – recommended for most uses
  • Quartile (25%): More reliable, slightly larger
  • High (30%): Most reliable, largest size – best for outdoor use or poor conditions

Higher error correction means the QR code can still be scanned even if up to that percentage is damaged, dirty, or obscured.
