  • Your preferred image display order
  • A smartphone available for testing

QR Code Design Best Practices

High Contrast

Use enough contrast between the QR code and its background. Dark patterns on light backgrounds scan most reliably.

Keep the Quiet Zone

Leave enough clear space around the QR code so scanners can easily detect the edges.

Do Not Over-Customize

Make sure the design remains easy to scan. Keep the pattern legible and clear.

Use a Suitable Format

Choose the appropriate export format for your intended digital use or printing.

Step 4: Review and Test Your QR Code

Review the gallery details and scan the QR code with a smartphone. Confirm that the gallery opens and the images load correctly.

  1. Check the gallery title and description.
  2. Review the generated QR code.
  3. Scan the QR code with a smartphone.
  4. Confirm the gallery opens.
  5. Confirm the images load correctly.
  6. Confirm the image order is correct.
