I SMART QR7 Common QR Code Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)
Most QR failures trace back to a handful of avoidable mistakes. Sidestep these and your codes will just work.
1. No call to action
A bare code gives no reason to scan. Always say what happens.2. Too small to scan
Match size to distance; tiny codes on big posters fail.3. Low contrast
Pale modules on white is the classic killer. Keep it dark on light.4. Linking to a non-mobile page
Scanners are on phones; the destination must be mobile-friendly.5. No quiet zone
Crowding the code with other elements blocks detection.6. Never testing
Always scan with several phones before printing thousands.7. Dead destinations
A code outliving its link is worse than no code. Keep destinations alive.★ Ready to create one?
