Calendar event

Direct calendar event Google Calendar web link

Direct calendar event: scanning opens the event straight in Google Calendar from your phone's built-in camera (proven on Android's stock scanner); times stay as you entered them for whoever views them. Google Calendar web link: scanning opens a pre-filled "Add to calendar" page in your browser; it works everywhere including iPhone and converts times to each viewer's timezone, and its All-day option creates a true all-day event (direct events are always timed — Google's scanner can't make an all-day one from a scanned code). The reminder option is written into direct calendar events; iPhone and other iCal apps honor the chosen time, but Android's stock scanner drops it and Google Calendar applies its own default (~15 minutes before) instead. The web link can't carry a reminder at all.

QR version

Grid size of the pattern. Higher fits longer URLs but makes a denser, busier design. Versions that can't hold your current text are greyed out; the code always uses at least the smallest version that fits.

Error correction

How much damage the code can survive before it stops scanning. H is safest; L keeps more room for your image but scans less reliably.

Capacity guide: characters per version

Maximum characters a QR code can hold at each version and error-correction level (byte mode, the worst case for mixed text; pure digits fit more, A–Z + digits even more). Amber rows are dense codes that phone cameras often struggle with.

Contrast 1.0

Sharpens (>1) or softens (<1) the photo's light/dark balance so it reads clearly through the modules. 1 = untouched.

Brightness 1.0

Brightens (>1) or darkens (<1) a too-dark or washed-out picture before embedding. 1 = untouched.

Colors

Black & white Original colors

Black & white renders the photo as a monochrome halftone. Original colors keeps your picture's real colours in the code (the corner squares and guide lines stay black & white so scanners can read it). For very dense codes, if your phone struggles with Black & white, try Original colors. Some readers handle smooth colour better than the sharp halftone pattern.
