A link, a contact for the phone, Wi-Fi login or a calendar event with one scan. Choose colours and shape and download the code as SVG for print or JPG for web.

A short address gives a simpler code that reads better even from a distance.

Damage resistance
M: a reasonable compromise and the recommended choice for most printed matter. Withstands about 15% damage. More percent does not automatically mean better: the code has more dots, they are smaller at the same size and read worse from a distance. Most phones read a narrow margin without a problem, but nothing dark or busy may be around the code.

Contrast is a must

Readers need a dark code on a light background. A light code on a dark one is not read by some phones, nor are low-contrast colours.

Keep the margin

A free margin of at least 4 modules must remain around the code. It is already part of the downloaded files; do not crop it.

Size in print

On a flyer at least 2 × 2 cm, on a poster and roll-up more depending on distance. Rule of thumb: scanning distance divided by 10. Use SVG for print.

Wi-Fi and contact

The camera in iPhone and Android offers to join the network or save the contact. The data is in the code itself, so it works without internet too.
