How to Use & FAQs

What are the Error Correction Levels?

QR codes have built-in error recovery data using Reed-Solomon algorithms. This allows scanner systems to read your code even if parts are smudged, damaged, or dusty:
Low (L): 7% of bytes can be restored. Ideal for clean, simple high-contrast designs.
Medium (M): 15% of bytes restored. Best balance of size and durability.
Quartile (Q): 25% of bytes restored. Good for outdoor displays.
High (H): 30% of bytes restored. Best if adding logos or branding over the code.

Why is contrast important for color selection?

Cameras and scan lenses read QR codes based on high light reflection variance. Make sure you use a dark foreground color (e.g. #000000, dark blue) and a light background color (e.g. #FFFFFF, light gray). A low-contrast pairing (like light green on yellow) may fail to read altogether on many smartphone cameras.

Can I generate QR codes for emails or Wi-Fi logins?

Yes. Any plain text strings can be encoded. For emails, you can use the standard mail schema: mailto:name@domain.com?subject=Hello. For Wi-Fi connection schemes, use: WIFI:S:MyNetwork;T:WPA;P:MyPassword;;. Once encoded, scan lenses read the schema directly and prompt action immediately.
