Best Practices

1. Test Before Sharing

Always scan your QR code with multiple devices to confirm it loads correctly.

2. Use High-Resolution Files

For print materials, use SVG or high-resolution PNG files to maintain scan quality.

3. Add Context

Include a short call-to-action near your QR code, such as:

• “Scan to subscribe”
• “Join our mailing list”
• “Give feedback”

💡 Tip: QR codes are simply visual representations of a URL, so as long as your hosted form link is live, the QR code will work.
