How to Create a QR Code

1. Enter content: Paste a link (e.g., https://www.timejuggle.com) or short text.
2. Pick a size: Choose from 120–1024 px. For print (flyers/posters), use 512 px or higher.
3. Choose ECC level: L, M, Q, or H (see the guide below).
4. Generate & download: Click “Download” to save a PNG.
5. Test it: Scan with your phone camera before publishing.

What Is ECC (Error Correction)?

ECC determines how much of the QR can be damaged or covered while remaining scannable. Higher levels add redundancy, making codes more robust (useful for print, logos, or rough surfaces).

• L (Low): ~7% recovery. Smallest file/blocks; good for clean digital use.
• M (Medium): ~15% recovery. Balanced default for most cases.
• Q (Quartile): ~25% recovery. Better for small prints or mild wear.
• H (High): ~30% recovery. Best for print with possible damage or when placing a small logo in the center.

Best Practices

• Contrast: Dark modules on a light background scan best.
• Quiet zone: Keep some white space around the code.
• Short URLs: Shorter content = less dense = easier to scan.
• Printing: For business cards use ≥ 256 px; for posters use ≥ 512 px.

Does QRtime upload my data?

No. QR codes are generated locally in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.

Which ECC level should I choose?

Use M for most use cases. Choose H for print, rough surfaces, or if you plan to place a small logo over the center.

What image size should I use?

For screens, 256–384 px works well. For print, start at 512 px or larger. Always test by scanning from the expected distance.

Can I generate QR codes offline?

Yes! After the page fully loads, the generator continues to work offline in most browsers.
