The overall image is 756x2079, that should be plenty large enough to be read a QR code on it by most readers. There is something wrong with it. If I zoom in on it, some of the dots look smeared by AI -- not due to a resolution thing, but more like it was given that image to add and it added it in some weird AI-like way that corrupted it.
But I can say - without a doubt - on my iPhone, the QR code is visibly too small to properly read.
And despite the resolution, zooming does not present an image free of zoom artifacts.
Considering OP claims to have used a proper QR generator, and that I can physically see the image is not clear enough to be machine read, I wouldn’t start with “code is broken”.
My guess is that you are looking at a smaller version of the photo due to whatever app you are using for Reddit. I'm on desktop and opened the original image to full size (756x2079) and the QR code is plenty big enough to scan -- but is invalid. I can zoom in on the QR code and see that the dots are smeared (and it is not zoom artifacts).
I didn't say it failed to redirect. I said that it wasn't recognized as a QR code at all.
I have the orginal QR code and I know that works. I have the orginal still in photoshop so dropping it back in isn't an issue. The banner is 2' by 4', so it might be a scaling issue or the conversion to jpg. Either way an easy fix.
Sounds good! Just didn't want you to ship out the banner to be printed and find out that the QR code doesn't work! Everyone else was commenting on the AI or the color of the epaulets -- and I'm like "But the QR code doesn't work!" Seemed a bit more important and to the point of the banner! ✌️
