Why is my QR code not scanning properly?
If your QR code isn’t scanning, it may be due to color contrast or logo interference. Follow the checklist below:
- Use Dark Colors on Light Backgrounds
- ✅ Good: Black QR code on white background
- ❌ Avoid: Light-colored QR codes on light backgrounds (e.g., yellow on beige)
- Avoid Low Contrast Combinations. Example of low contrast color combinations that you want to avoid:
- ❌ Red on black
- ❌ Blue on dark gray
- Keep Logo Simple and Clear
- Ensure your logo is centered but not covering the QR code’s key detection points.
- Avoid large or low-resolution logos that blur or distort the code.
- Test on Multiple Devices
- Scan the QR code using different mobile phones and QR scanner apps to ensure compatibility.
