Best practices

Gradient QR code tips

Balance creativity with flawless scan performance.

Choose two or three tones with clear contrast between light and dark values—darker dots on lighter backgrounds scan best.
Keep finder patterns crisp. Avoid placing bright highlights or heavy gradients over the corner markers.
Print a proof on your final material. Different papers absorb ink differently and can soften gradient transitions.
Export multiple sizes: SVG for responsive layouts, and high-res PNG for email or social embeds.
