Print check

Before you print 500 menus, check the QR code will scan. Upload your design and tell us how big it prints and how far away people will be. Your file stays on your device.

Common sizes: A4 is 21 cm wide, A5 14.8 cm, a business card 8.5 cm, a table tent about 10 cm. Exporting a PDF? Save it as a PNG first.

The rules we check

  • Size vs distance: a code should be at least one-tenth as wide as the scanning distance (30 cm away → 3 cm wide), and never under 2 cm.
  • Quiet zone: a clear light border around the code, about 4 of its little squares wide.
  • Contrast: dark code on a light background. Light-on-dark codes don't scan on some phones.

Want a code you can change after printing? Make a dynamic code; it never stops working.

Other QR apps switch your codes off when you stop paying. We made a vow not to.
