QR code templates

Start from where the code will be seen. A menu or business card can carry a playful look such as dots, hearts or a gradient, because it is read up close. A poster across a room or a sign on a window needs a plain, bold pattern that reads from a distance.

Then match your brand: set the dots to your main colour, give the three corner squares an accent colour, and add your logo in the middle. Every template is a starting point; colours, shapes and the logo can all be changed after you pick it.

Contrast matters more than anything else. Keep the dots clearly darker than the background, avoid pale yellows and light greys for the pattern, and leave a quiet margin around the code. Light codes on dark backgrounds work on modern phones but fail on some older scanners.

The editor checks every change with a real QR reader and tells you whether the code scans well, scans only when printed large, or may fail. Download only when it says the code scans well, and test the printed proof with two phones.

Signed in, you can save any design as your own template and apply it to new codes, so every menu, flyer and card from your business looks the same. Developers can pass a saved template when creating codes through the API.

Templates work the same on static and dynamic codes. With a dynamic code you can also change where it points after printing, without touching the design.
