Arcade QR code generator
Chunky multicoloured tiles sit inside a dark frame with a grid pattern, giving this code the blocky look of a retro arcade screen. It feels like a high-score table, fun and instantly recognisable to anyone who grew up near a game cabinet.

Printing tip
Tiles with gaps need a good print resolution, so use the SVG and keep the code at 2.5 cm (1 in) or more.
Static code: it never expires, but the link can't change after printing. Need edits or scan counts? Make a dynamic code.
Questions
Will tile-style dots scan?+
Yes. Tiles sit on the normal grid, with dark marks on a light background and the highest error correction. The design is tested with real QR code readers.
Can I use it on a tournament pass?+
Yes. Link to a bracket or check-in page and print it on the pass with its white border.
Is the arcade QR code free for commercial use?+
Yes, with no watermark and no sign-up. It is a static code that does not expire; the link cannot be edited after printing.
