When to use a QR code

Use a QR code when the person scanning it should open digital information from a physical object. QR codes are a strong fit for packaging, posters, business cards, event signs, labels and instruction sheets because they can carry a web address or compact text without requiring someone to type it manually.

Input and scanning tips

Shorter QR content usually creates a cleaner code with larger modules, which can make it easier to scan. For printed material, use a strong contrast between the code and its background, keep a quiet margin around the code and avoid placing it over busy images unless the background is controlled.

Exporting for design work

SVG is usually the best choice for Illustrator, Affinity Designer, InDesign and other layout tools because it stays sharp at any size. PNG is useful for quick previews, websites and documents. If the code will sit on colored artwork, use the transparent background option and test the final file before printing.

Can I make a QR code with a transparent background?

Yes. Choose QR Code, enable transparent background and export as PNG or SVG. Always test the final file on the material where it will be used.

What content can a QR code contain?

QR codes commonly contain website URLs, contact details, short messages, Wi-Fi details or other compact text-based information.
