How to use this QR code generatorTimes are saved without a time zone, so the event opens at the same clock time wherever it is scanned.
2 Design
Start from a ready-made look, then fine-tune it.
Scanners need clear space around the code. Below 4% many phones struggle.
A logo covers part of the code, so error correction is raised to High automatically.
Frames and captions are included in every download, including SVG.
Higher levels survive scratches and logos but make the code denser.
Printing tips
- Use SVG for print - it stays sharp at any size.
- Keep the printed code at least 2 x 2 cm, more for distant scanning.
- Dark code on a light background scans most reliably.
Styles are stored in this browser only.

- • Contrast is far too low - most scanners will fail. Darken the code or lighten the background.
- • Contrast is below the 4.5:1 guideline. Try a darker foreground.
- • Contrast is workable but not generous. Fine on screen, riskier in print.
- • Light code on a dark background. Modern phones cope; older scanners often do not.
- • Long content with low error correction. Raise error correction to Quartile or High.
- • The content is long, so the code is dense. Print it larger, or shorten the content.
- • The logo covers a lot of the code. Below 30% is safer.
- • With a logo, use High error correction.
- • The quiet zone is very tight. Increase it under Shape & style.
Always scan a test print before ordering in bulk.

How to use Calendar Event QR Code Generator
- 📅Enter your event details including title, location, dates, times, and description.
- 🎨Customize your QR code with colors, logo, and design options.
- ⬇️Download your QR code in SVG or PNG format and share it.
The code contains a small iCalendar event. Scanning it opens the phone’s calendar with the title, location, date and time already filled in, and the person taps once to save it. No app, no invitation email, and no chance of them writing down the wrong date.
Where it works well
- Event posters and flyers - the details go into the calendar rather than being forgotten.
- Wedding and party invitations - printed on the card next to the address.
- Conference programmes - one code per session so attendees build their own schedule.
- Class and fixture timetables - a term of dates, one code each.
- Appointment cards - clinics and salons cut no-shows by making the reminder automatic.
About time zones
Times are saved as local floating time: the event opens at the clock time you typed, wherever the person scanning happens to be. For a physical event that is what you want - a 19:00 concert in Berlin should read 19:00 to everyone holding the flyer, whether they flew in from London or Kyiv.
If you are advertising an online event across time zones, put the reference zone in the
title or the description, for example Webinar (18:00 CET), so remote attendees can do the
conversion.
Practical details
- Give the event an end time. Without one, calendars guess, and the guesses vary by app.
- Tick “all-day event” for anything spanning whole days - the date is then stored without a time at all, which is what calendar apps expect.
- Keep the description short. Long descriptions make the code dense; put the detail on a web page and link to it from the description instead.
- Include the venue in the location field rather than the title, so map apps can find it.
