What Size Should I Make My QR Code?

QR Code Scan Distance

What’s size should I make my QR code?  The BIGGER the BETTER, not always says Lenawee County virtual tour company, Toursdforce.  They all work as long as they are of high quality, although when publishing them you will want to consider a size that’s appropriate for the scanning environment there being put into and here’s a good rule of thumb.

For most smartphones the relationship between scan distance and minimum QR code size is approximately 10:1 for printed material such as in a magazine, newspaper, direct mailing, business cards, flyer, etc. There’s a bit of play here depending on the sort of smartphone but 10:1 is a good rule of thumb for a well-lit black and white QR code being scanned front-on.

Simple Formula:
Minimum QR Code Size = Scanning Distance  / 10

If you have a poorly lit or obliquely positioned QR code, or a colored one where the foreground/background color contrast might not be optimal, you should probably reduce this ratio to 8:1 or less (ie; the QR code size should 1/8th or less of the scan distance).

Simple Formula:
Minimum QR Code Size = Scanning Distance  / 8

*Scan distance will vary depending on the complexity of the QR Code and lighting.
The proper size to make your QR code depends on the medium being used.
