QR Code Print Size Calculator
Check the pixel dimensions your print layout needs. This is a resolution check, not a promise that the finished code will scan.
Ask your printer which resolution to use. 300 DPI is a common starting point for printed artwork.
Your image should be at least
450 × 450 px
Our 600 × 600 px print PNG meets this resolution target.
Formula: printed width × DPI, rounded up. The size includes the QR image and its clear border.
Before you print
Leave the clear border around the code intact. DENSO WAVE specifies a quiet zone four modules wide on every side; pixel count alone cannot verify that border or the final scan distance. Read the QR code area guidance.
Print one proof at the actual size and scan it with a phone before ordering the full run. Our print guide has a quick test checklist.
