Convert File To QR Code

Convert File To QR Code explained in plain terms, with the practical effect it has on a QR code you generate.

The Short Version

Convert File To QR Code matters at the point where design choice meets scan reliability. The section below covers the specific detail and how to apply it.

When It Matters Most

This becomes relevant the moment a code is going to be scanned by people you have not met, in conditions you do not control, so the margin for error (size, contrast, content length) is worth getting right up front.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data safe?
Yes. QR codes are generated entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your data is never sent to any server. We cannot see what you encode.
Can I change the colours of my QR code?
Yes. Use the customisation options to change the dot colour, background colour, dot shape, and corner shape. Ensure sufficient contrast for reliable scanning.
Which download format should I choose?
SVG for print (infinite scalability), PNG for digital use and social media, JPEG for smaller file sizes. SVG is the safest choice for most use cases.
What is the best size for printing a QR code?
Minimum 2cm x 2cm (about 0.8 inches) for close-range scanning. For posters or signs viewed from a distance, increase the size proportionally. A rough rule: 1cm of QR code for every 10cm of scanning distance.
Can I add my logo to the QR code?
Yes. Use the customisation panel to upload a logo image. It appears in the centre of the QR code. Error correction is automatically increased to maintain scanability.
