Scanlight Makes QR Codes Prove They Work

scanlight.org Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based QR generator that decodes each finished code, checks its scanability, and recommends a print size for its intended distance.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The generator exposes practical print variables rather than treating QR creation as a single export button: users select a physical context, from a hand-held menu to a billboard, and receive a recommended size in millimetres. It also tests the rendered code with a decoder before download, including after adding a logo or changing colours. Static output is described as browser-generated with the destination embedded directly; dynamic routing and scan counts are reserved for the paid offering.
