Why Rounded QR Codes

📱 Mobile-First

✅ Still Scannable

Rounding Techniques

CSS Border-Radius

Light Rounding: 5-10px for subtle effect
Moderate Rounding: 10-20px for visible softening
Extreme Rounding: 30%+ for pill-shape effects

            Key Point: Rounding works on the container, not individual QR blocks. The QR data itself stays sharp and scannable.
        

Implementation

HTML + CSS Approach

<img src="qrcode.png" class="rounded-qr" alt="QR Code">

<style>
.rounded-qr {
    border-radius: 12px;
    width: 256px;
    height: 256px;
    display: block;
}
</style>

With Shadow & Border

<div class="qr-container">
    <img src="qrcode.png" alt="QR Code">
</div>

<style>
.qr-container {
    border-radius: 16px;
    overflow: hidden;
    box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
    width: fit-content;
    border: 2px solid #185FA5;
}

.qr-container img {
    display: block;
    border-radius: 16px;
}
</style>

Design Best Practices

Keep Margins: Don't round too aggressively if edges are tight
