Find out what error correction you can use depending on the size of the QR code

Thanks to the error correction of a QR code, it can be decoded even if the QR code is partially hidden or slightly damaged. Thanks to the pattern with duplicate information (redundancy) of the content, a QR code can be read

There are four error correction levels: L, M, Q and H. Each level has its own damage rate, with L being the lowest and H the highest. Which one to use is determined by the actual size of a QR code when it is printed.

• L - Low 7%
• M - average 15%
• Q - high 25%
• H - up to 30%
