Before publishing
- Open the URL in a private browser.

- Confirm analytics tags do not make the QR too dense.
Static QR fit, privacy, and measurement
Static works well when the URL is stable or points to a page you control. Avoid static direct links to temporary files or expiring campaigns.
Do not encode private preview links, tokenized URLs, or personal data in query strings.
Use a UTM URL on a page you control to separate scans from flyers, signs, packaging, and events.
Print or screen specs
- Use SVG for print.
- Use the UTM builder before generation when attribution matters.
- Keep a clear quiet zone around the code.
Accessibility note
Print a readable short URL near important website QR codes so people can type the destination if scanning fails.
