Ensure scannability

Students and educators may experience frustration when a QR Code does not respond. Several factors affect the scannability of a QR Code like size, color contrast, scanning distance, and lighting conditions.

The minimum size for a QR Code should be 1 inch or 3 cm or 115 pixels—both width and height.
When using colored QR Codes, choose high-contrast color combinations for the foreground and background.
Maintain a ratio of about 10:1. For example, if a QR Code is to be scanned from 100 cm away, it should be at least 10 cm wide.
Make sure the area surrounding your QR Code is well-lit to enhance scanning success.
