What it is

Size sets the pixel dimensions, while the quiet zone adds a margin around the code.

What it is

Error correction levels L, M, Q, and H control how much damage a QR code can tolerate.

Why it matters

Higher correction improves scans on worn or branded QR codes.

How it works

Select the level from the dropdown and adjust size if the code becomes dense.

How to use
