What is a QR Code?
A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that can store information such as URLs, text and other data. Smartphones and QR code scanners can read the encoded information and provide quick access to the stored content.
What can you put in a QR code?
- Website URLs
- Plain text
- Contact information
- Product or service links
- Event information
- Other text-based information
QR Code Error Correction
| Level | Approx. Recovery | Use |
|---|---|---|
| L | 7% | Lower redundancy |
| M | 15% | General use |
| Q | 25% | Higher redundancy |
| H | 30% | Highest redundancy |
Higher error correction can make a QR code more resistant to damage, but it can also increase the amount of QR code data required for the same content.
Why use SVG for QR codes?
SVG is a vector format, so the QR code can be scaled without introducing the pixelation commonly associated with raster images. This makes SVG useful for websites, documents and designs where the QR code may need to be resized.
QR Code Color and Contrast
QR codes generally need clear contrast between the foreground and background so scanners can identify the code reliably. When customizing colors, avoid combinations with very low contrast.
Is my content uploaded to a server?
The QR code is generated directly in your browser using the QR code component. The page does not send the entered content to a KitDevTools server for QR generation.
