What can a QR code link to?

  • Website URL: Direct visitors to your homepage or a specific landing page
  • Google Maps: Link to your business location for easy navigation
  • WhatsApp: Pre-fill a message to your business number
  • PDF menu or brochure: Host on Google Drive and link to the share URL
  • Social media profile: Instagram, LinkedIn, or any platform URL
  • Payment link: UPI, PayPal, or Razorpay payment URLs
  • Plain text: WiFi passwords, short instructions, contact information

QR code size for print

Download at the highest resolution available. For print use:

  • Business card: minimum 2cm × 2cm (800px at 300 DPI)
  • A4 poster: minimum 4cm × 4cm
  • Outdoor banner: minimum 8cm × 8cm

Always test your printed QR code by scanning it before large print runs.

QR code best practices

  • Always include a short URL hint below the QR code ("Scan to view menu")
  • Leave white space (quiet zone) around the code — do not crop edges
  • Test at the smallest size you plan to print it
  • Use a dark code on a white or light background (not the reverse)
  • For business use, use a URL shortener so you can change the destination without reprinting
How long does a QR code last?

Forever, if the URL it points to stays live. If the website goes down, the QR code stops working. Use a URL shortener (like bit.ly) so you can redirect the code even after printing.

Can I put a logo inside a QR code?

QR codes have built-in error correction that allows up to 30% of the pattern to be obscured. A small logo in the centre works — but always test that it still scans reliably after adding the logo.
