QR Code Size Calculator

Estimate a conservative minimum QR width from the furthest expected scanning distance.

Starting rule: scanning distance ÷ 10

Recommended minimum width10 cm

For a scan from 100 cm away. Test the final artwork on at least two phones.

Why this is an estimate

Camera quality, lighting, print finish, QR complexity, contrast and damage all change scanning range. A larger code is usually safer; this calculator is not a guarantee.

Print checklist

  • Keep a clear quiet zone around every side
  • Use strong foreground/background contrast
  • Avoid folds, glare and textured material
  • Test the final-size proof before the full print run
