Keep strong contrast
Use a dark code on a light background. Decorative colours can work, but pale combinations are harder for cameras to detect.

Scan reliably
Create QR codes that work beyond the screen
Strong contrast, a clear quiet zone and an appropriate output size make QR codes easier for phones and printed materials to read.
Test the final format
Scan the QR code from the actual screen, label, poster or card before distributing it. Printing and resizing can affect reliability.
Check the destination
Review the encoded address or action carefully. A QR code only stores the content supplied; it does not validate the destination.
Questions answered
QR code generator and scanner FAQ
Does Utilaroo store my QR code content?
No. Generation and scanning happen locally in your browser. Your entered content, uploaded images and camera frames are not submitted to or stored by Utilaroo.
Which download format should I choose?
PNG is convenient for everyday documents and social content. SVG stays sharp when enlarged and is usually better for professional print layouts.
What does error correction mean?
Error correction can help a code remain readable when part of it is dirty or damaged. Higher levels create denser codes, so always test the final result.
Why will a QR image not scan?
The full code may not be visible, the image may be blurred, the colours may have low contrast, or the quiet border may be too small. Try a sharper, uncropped image.
