Frequently asked questions

Will a transparent code scan on any background?

It scans when there is strong contrast between the code pattern and whatever sits behind it. Dark pattern on a light area of your design — test before print.

Which format keeps transparency?

PNG and SVG. JPEG has no transparency and will fill the background white.

Why is this usually paid?

Competitors gate design features to push subscriptions. Our generator is fully free; we charge only for editable codes.

Need it printed?
