How to Stress-Test a QR Code in the QR Arcade

Damage a QR code on purpose and see how much it can lose before scanners fail.

1

Bring your design

Select Stress Test in Arcade under the generator preview, or open the Arcade and enter any text or URL.

2

Choose a mode

Use Arcade Blaster to shoot the code apart, or Damage Simulator to strike exact modules and launch barrages.

3

Watch both verdicts

The health bar shows how much damage the code can still take. The live scanner shows whether it can still be read.

4

Rebuild and compare

Rebuild or heal the code, change the error correction level, and try again to compare how much damage each level survives.
