Printing QR stickers that actually scan
- Keep the quiet zone (white margin) — don’t crop to the edge
- Minimum ~0.8 in / 2 cm for reliable phone scans
- High contrast: dark code on a light background
- Use vector SVG so edges stay sharp at large sizes
Frequently asked questions
What file format is best for printing stickers?
SVG (vector) is best — it stays sharp at any size. Use the high-resolution PNG if your printer only accepts raster images.
How small can a QR sticker be?
Around 0.8 inches (2 cm) is the practical minimum for a reliable scan. Bigger is more forgiving, especially on curved surfaces.
