Interface overview
The QR Code Generator interface is divided into several key areas. Understanding this layout will help you work efficiently.

Pattern color
The color of the QR code modules. Click the color picker or enter a hex code (e.g., #000000 for black). Dark colors on light backgrounds scan best.

Color for the smaller dots inside the corner squares.

Logo tab
The Logo tab lets you add an image overlay to the center of your QR code. Click the Logo tab (image icon) to access these options.

Logo padding
Adjust the Logo padding slider to add white space around the logo (shown in pixels, e.g., 5px). This improves contrast between the logo and the QR code pattern.

To remove the logo, upload a new image or reload the page to start fresh.
Tech tab
The Tech tab contains technical settings that affect QR code reliability and appearance. Click the Tech tab (gear icon) to access these options.

• High (30%): maximum tolerance for harsh conditions (outdoor, industrial)
Quiet zone
