You asked if our artistic QR codes actually scan. So I built a feature to prove it.
A few weeks ago I shared NGQRCode here, and one of the biggest questions I kept getting was:
“Sure, artistic QR codes look interesting; but do they actually scan reliably?”
That was a fair question.
Making an artistic QR code is one thing. Making one that still works reliably across different phones, lighting conditions, angles, and levels of visual complexity is a much harder problem.
So I decided to build something around it instead of just saying “trust me.”
NGQRCode now lets you control the QR code's error correction level:
Low
Medium
Quartile
High
The higher the error correction, the more damage/visual distortion the QR code can tolerate while remaining recoverable.
I added this because different use cases need different tradeoffs. Someone printing a simple QR code may want one setting, while someone creating a highly artistic design may want more tolerance.
This is still something I'm actively improving, but I wanted to share the update because the feature came directly from feedback here.
What would you want to see before trusting an artistic QR code for a real campaign?
