Where to use it

Tips for a code that scans
- Keep the message short so it is easy to send.
- Test on an iPhone and an Android phone: messaging apps handle the format slightly differently.
- Write the call to action next to the code, such as Scan to text us.
- Keep strong contrast between the dots and the background, and leave the empty border around the code.
- Print it at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide, and larger if people scan it from a distance.
Frequently asked questions
Does the text send by itself?▼
No. The phone opens the message with your text filled in and the person still has to press send.
Can I add the country code?▼
Yes, and you should, so it works for people in other countries.
Does this QR code expire?▼
No. The code holds the information itself (or a plain link), so there is no server in between, no subscription and no scan limit. It works for as long as the destination exists.
Is my information uploaded?▼
No. The code is made in your browser. What you type is never sent to CalcMaster or stored.
