Detailed description of each setting

Phone number

About the tel: format

This tool generates the widely supported tel:number format. Scan behavior varies by device; most environments only open the dialer with the number filled in, and placing the call requires the user's action.

Error correction / size / margin

Error correction is the share of a damaged code that can still be recovered (L≈7%, M≈15%, Q≈25%, H≈30%). Size is the output PNG edge in pixels; margin is the white quiet zone around the code (4 or more recommended). For print, a larger size scans more reliably.
