Example Error & Fix

❌ Malformed Payload

<img src="qr.png" style="margin: 0; background: #000; color: #333;" />

✅ Corrected Payload

<img src="qr.png" style="padding: 16px; background: #fff; color: #000;" />

💡 Explanation: Scanners require high contrast (dark modules on light background) and a clear quiet zone margin.

Common Root Causes

  • Data string payload exceeds maximum QR version byte capacity.
  • Insufficient contrast between modules and background color.
  • Missing quiet zone margin around the QR border.

Recommended Solutions

  • Shorten target URLs using shorteners if encoding large payloads.
  • Maintain high contrast (black on white) and at least 4 modules of quiet zone padding.
