  Yes, the Quiet Zone is part of the QR spec.

  But the bottom one is still a QR code, it’s just an out-of-spec QR code. Most QR readers will still process it just fine, but there’s greater room for error depending on what surrounds the code itself.

      i hate coding for browsers. To that end, I do not actually know css. I just called it padding when I wrote my own qr code library, because it was easier to say than “quiet zone”.

      Just like “dots” or “pixels” are easier to say than “modules”

  Yeah… I’m pretty sure the white space is part of the spec for a QR code.
