Data is large. The QR code may be hard to scan. Reduce the input or set the error correction level to L.
Values in parentheses are the approximate printed side length at 300 dpi. Use 600px for business cards and 2000px for posters.
PDF and EPS are print formats that contain square dots, colors and the frame (no logo or dot shapes; frame text uses the fonts of the app that opens the file, and EPS files with a gradient open on PostScript Level 3 devices). Print size guide for this version
Low or inverted contrast between the foreground and background may make the code unreadable. Use a dark foreground on a light background.
The logo may be too large for the QR code to be scanned reliably.
The logo image could not be read. Please try another file.
While a logo is set, the level is fixed to H for reliable scanning
The output size is the side of the QR code itself. The frame makes the image larger.
My presets
Only appearance settings (colors, dot shapes, etc.) are saved. The QR code content (URL, text, Wi-Fi password, etc.) is never saved.
Presets and tab memory are stored only in this device's browser and are never sent to our servers. If you don't visit for a long time, your browser may clear them automatically. Using Qraft as an app makes them less likely to be cleared.
Bulk create uses the original URLs.

QR Code Glossary
QR Code AR
A system where scanning a QR code displays AR (augmented reality) content. Used on product packaging and advertisements.
Alphanumeric Mode
One of the QR code encoding modes. Handles 45 characters (0-9, A-Z uppercase only, space, and symbols $%*+-./:), compressing two characters into 11 bits.
Color Depth
The number of bits used to represent the color information of one pixel. A QR code is essentially a 1-bit (black and white) image, but design QR codes make use of full-color color depth.
NFC
Near-field wireless communication technology. An alternative to QR codes that reads information by tapping a smartphone.
AR Glasses
Eyewear-shaped devices that overlay digital information on real-world vision. Tiers differ in whether a display is built in; expected as a hands-free path for reading QR codes.
API
An interface for exchanging data and functionality between software systems. Used for bulk QR code generation and management system integration.
QR Code Boarding Pass
A smartphone-based boarding pass issued by airlines. Scan at the airport to complete boarding procedures.
Lot Number
An identifier for a group of products manufactured under identical conditions. Encoding lot numbers in QR codes accelerates production history tracking and recall response.
Redirect
A mechanism that automatically forwards users from one URL to another. The foundational technology behind dynamic QR codes and URL shorteners.
QR Code Scanner
A QR code scanner is a general term for devices and apps that read QR codes. This entry explains the difference between cases where a smartphone's standard camera can read the code and cases where a dedicated app is needed, how to choose between these and business scanners, and the points to consider when choosing one.
Landing Page
The first page visitors reach from an ad or link. Conversion-optimized landing pages can be designed as QR code destinations.
Encode and Decode
Encoding converts data from one format to another; decoding reverses the process. QR code generation and scanning are fundamentally encode-decode operations.
Capacity by version
Maximum bytes at error correction L, M, Q and H for each QR code version from 1 to 40. Find the version your data needs from its length.
QR Creatures
Scan a QR code and a creature hatches, its looks and moves decided only by what the code contains. Its stats vary a little with how it was read and the week it hatched.
