Module shapes and eye styles
Autessa QR Codes offers module shapes (Square, Rounded and Dots) and eye styles (Square, Rounded and Circle), which you can combine freely. Every code is built with error-correction level M, so styled codes still scan reliably.
The problem
A styled QR code should not be a gamble
Rounded corners and dots make a QR code feel designed rather than generated, but heavy styling from random tools can quietly break scanning. Autessa draws the corner eyes separately from the data modules and keeps a quiet zone around the code, so you get the styled look and a code that phones still read.
FROM THE PRINT SHOP
Dots look best at larger print sizes. For tiny placements like receipts or labels, square modules are the safest choice.
What you get
- Square modules merge into one crisp path for the classic, sharpest look.
- Rounded modules give each square soft corners.
- Dots draw each module as a circle, the popular styled-QR look.
- Eye styles change the three corner finder patterns: Square, Rounded or Circle.
- Eyes are drawn independently, so they can also take their own color.
- Codes use error-correction level M, which tolerates some damage and styling.
- Every combination is available; the preview shows each one live.
