Tip for Optimal QR Code Performance
Ensure High Contrast for Better Scalability
An essential aspect of QR code design is ensuring high contrast. This is crucial for making your QR code easily scannable by mobile phones. A good contrast means choosing a color scheme for your QR code that stands out against its background, ensuring it's easily detectable by QR scanners. While traditional black-and-white color schemes are known for their high contrast, don't be afraid to explore other color combinations that align with your brand identity while maintaining this key readability factor. Remember, the goal is to make your QR code not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical for everyday use.
