Victor ArmendarizRecords Manager,Miami BeachScanova has helped secure our permit drawings and documents with the use of custom password-protected QR Codes. This process has eliminated the laborious task of perforating our documents, improving our efficiency with respect to the permitting process. I especially like the feature to track scans and the ability to integrate with Google Analytics. What impresses me the most is their quick response time for technical issues or questions.

6 expert strategies to double your scans
Boost your scans easily using these strategies
Customize QR Code design
Your target audience can confuse plain black-and-white marketing QR Codes with non-customer-facing barcodes. Plus, a plain QR Code will mostly not align with the design of your marketing creative.
Add design and branding elements to make your QR Code visually appealing and attract 50-200% more scans than standard QR Codes.
Add converting frames to QR Codes
Make your QR Codes stand out by adding ready-made frames.
Frames are graphics that come in multiple designs and enclose the QR Code—enhancing the overall visual appeal of the QR Code.
Add a call-to-action
Inform your target audience about what the QR Code does. Some good examples of call-to-action (CTA) text are—Scan for Menu, Scan to Watch Tutorial, Scan to Donate, Scan to Read Full Article, and Follow on Instagram.
Tip: You can add CTA text in the center of the QR Code if you are short of space.
Ensure scannability
Users can find it frustrating when a QR Code doesn't respond. Scannability depends on size, color contrast, scanning distance, and lighting.
- The minimum size of a QR Code should be 1 inch or 3 cm or 115 pixels (both width and height).
- In case of colored QR Codes, it’s best to opt for high-contrast between foreground and background colors.
- Always maintain a ratio close to 10:1—if a QR Code is to be scanned from 100 cm away, it must be at least 10 cm wide.
- Ensure good lighting conditions around the QR Code for successful QR Code reading.
Tip: Use Dynamic QR Codes that shorten lengthy URLs to simplify the code.
Make it accessible
To make your QR Code accessible, you need to ensure both safe scanning distance and easy access to mobile internet.
Placing QR Codes on moving vehicles, distant billboards, or the bottom section of print material can reduce accessibility.
Limited network/Wifi areas, like flight or underground stations, can also affect scans.
Link to mobile-optimized content
QR Codes are meant to be scanned by mobile devices. Hence, it's best to craft a smooth and mobile-friendly experience for the target audience.
Tip: You can easily create a custom mobile page using Scanova if you don't have one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to popular questions about QR Codes and Scanova
What is a QR Code?
A QR Code is a 2D barcode that is encoded with information and can be decoded using a QR Code scanning app on a smartphone. Most smartphones are now equipped with a QR Code scanning feature or app. Hence, QR Codes are now popularly used in marketing, payments, and authentication use cases. Typically, a QR Code image—encoded with a website link—is added to promotional material to engage target customers.
What is a QR Code Creator?
An online QR Code Generator is a software tool that allows you to create QR Codes. Advanced QR Code makers such as Scanova also allow you to design, manage, and track QR Codes for marketing and operational use cases.
What types of QR Codes can Scanova generate?
Scanova is one of the best QR Code Generators that can generate both Static QR Codes, Dynamic QR Codes, and QR Codes with logos. Static QR Codes work forever but they offer very limited functionality. Dynamic QR Codes allow you to edit linked content anytime and track scanning activity. Dynamic QR Codes also allow you to access other advanced features but need an ongoing subscription with the QR Code generator service provider. If you simply need a single permanent Dynamic QR Code, Scanova has a special one-time pricing plan available. See Pricing for more information.
Will a QR Code work forever?
Although Static QR Codes work forever, they offer limited features. Dynamic QR Codes have greater utility but will work only till you have an ongoing subscription with the QR Code Generator service provider. For a single permanent Dynamic QR Code see Pricing for more information.
Is a special app required to scan the QR Codes generated by Scanova?
No. Scanova QR Code Maker follows the QR Code open standard even with custom QRs. This ensures that the QR Code can be scanned using any generic QR Code scanning app or default QR Code scanning feature, which is now available in most smartphones including iPhones and Android-based smartphones.
How do I make a QR Code?
You can use Scanova's QR Code Creator to make a QR Code. Sign-up for a 14-day free trial. After signing up, you can go to ‘Create QR Code’ from the dashboard. Choose the QR Code category—Website, PDF, Social Media, and others. Enter the content. Once the QR Code is generated, you will get the option to ‘Edit Design’. Once finalized, the QR Code image can be downloaded. Note that you will need to start a subscription if you need to keep your Dynamic QR Codes active.
