After you insert a QR code, you can use the Object properties docker to customize the pixel fill, the background fill, the pixel outline, as well as the pixel shape and corner roundness. When you customize the shape of the pixels, the markers (the three larger squares in the corners, as well as one or more smaller squares in the interior of the code pattern) remain unchanged to maintain the readability of the code. You can also specify the margin around the QR code or weld the pixels together.
A QR code with customized pixel shapes and added text. The markers remain unchanged.
You can move, resize, scale, and align the QR code like any other object. For more information, see Working with objects.
With QR codes, you can use styles to control the appearance of the fill, outline, and other properties. For more information, see Working with styles and style sets. You can also change the default look of QR codes by modifying the default object properties. For more information, see Managing default object properties.
