The styles

Dot, Rounded and Classic QR Code Patterns

A QR code is a grid of small squares called modules. A dot pattern draws each module as a circle, which looks softer and more designed on packaging, menus and business cards. The generator above starts on dots; switch the pattern anytime:

  • Dots: separate round dots, the most playful look.
  • Bubble and smooth: rounded modules that join into soft shapes.
  • Sharp and elegant: leaf-like corners for a premium look.
  • Classic: plain squares, the safest choice for tiny prints.

The corner eyes have their own styles: square, circle, rounded or dotted. Round eyes with a dot pattern is the most popular pairing.

Design tips

Make a Dotted QR Code That Always Scans

  • Keep the dots darker than the background. Dark navy, black or deep brand colors on white or cream work best.
  • Do not invert it. Light dots on a dark background fail on some older phones.
  • Print it at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide; dots need a little more size than squares to read from far away.
  • Leave a clear margin around the code, about the width of 4 dots.
  • Scan the downloaded file with two different phones before you print a batch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do QR codes with dots still scan?
Yes, as long as the contrast is strong. Phone cameras read the position of each module, not its shape, so round dots scan as well as squares. Keep dark dots on a light background, leave a quiet margin around the code, and test it with your phone before printing.
How do I make the corners of a QR code round?
The three big squares in the corners are the eyes. Open the Pattern tab in the generator above and pick a round or rounded eye style. You can set the eye frame and the eye center separately, for example round frames with dot centers.
Can I make the whole QR code a circle?
Yes. A dot pattern keeps the square outline. For a fully round badge, use the circle QR code generator, which places the code inside a circle frame.
Is the dot style free?
Yes. Every pattern, eye style, color and logo option is free for static codes, with no account and no watermark. SVG and PDF downloads for print come with any paid plan.
Can I add a logo to a dotted QR code?
Yes. Open the Logo tab and upload your logo or pick one from the gallery. The code keeps enough error correction to scan with a logo in the middle.
