# Why is my QR code not working?

This could be a number of reasons. Your QR Code may not be detected by a scanner because it’s blurry or there isn’t enough contrast between the Code and the background. A simple rule to remember is to make sure the foreground is always darker than the background. Make sure you always test your QR code before printing or downloading. You can always play around with our "Quality settings" to make sure your QR codes will work.
