1024×1024 PNG export
High-resolution PNG ready for posters, packaging, signage and apparel.
SVG export
Scalable vector for designers — drop straight into Illustrator, Figma or InDesign without quality loss.
Print-tested error correction
Auto H-level error correction so codes still scan even with logo overlay or minor print damage.
Right size at any scale
We recommend a printed minimum of 1 inch (2.5 cm). Use SVG for billboards and trade-show banners.
Brand-color friendly
Use your brand foreground and background — we warn you if contrast is too low to scan reliably.
Edit after printing
Dynamic codes mean you can update the destination URL anytime without reprinting a single piece.

QR code print checklist
- Minimum recommended printed size: 1 inch (2.5 cm) on flat surfaces.
- Use SVG for anything bigger than a poster — it stays sharp at any scale.
- Keep at least 4 modules of white margin (the 'quiet zone') around the code.
- Test scan from your finished print before mass-printing — phones, distance, and lighting all matter.
- On dark packaging, invert the colors but keep contrast high (the dark side should be the QR).
Frequently asked questions
What's the best file format for printing a QR code?
SVG for any vector workflow (Illustrator, InDesign, large-format printing). PNG at 1024×1024 for everyday print where vector isn't needed.
What's the smallest size I can print a QR code?
1 inch (2.5 cm) per side is the practical minimum for reliable scanning at arm's length. Anything smaller and most phones will struggle.
Can I print a QR code on a t-shirt?
Yes. Use a high-contrast color combination, ensure at least 1.5 inches printed size, and avoid placing it on heavily textured fabric. Test before bulk printing.
Why won't my printed QR code scan?
Most failed scans come from low contrast, missing quiet zone (the white border), too small a print, or low-resolution export. Use a 1024×1024 PNG or SVG and at least 1 inch printed size.
Can I edit the QR after printing?
Yes — ForeverScan codes are dynamic, so you can change the destination URL anytime without reprinting.
