Why will my QR code not scan?

Nearly always contrast or size. Use dark on white, download the SVG rather than the PNG when it is going on paper, keep it at least two centimetres across on a printed card, and leave a clear margin round it. A code laid over a photograph, or drawn in a pale brand colour, is a code no camera reads however pretty it looks.
