Branded QR codes that still scan
Adding a logo to the center of a QR code is standard practice for packaging, retail, and marketing. The key is error correction. Up to 30% of the pattern can be covered if you use level H.
This generator raises error correction when you upload a logo and lets you fine-tune logo size with a slider. Always test a printed sample before a full production run.
Logo size and format guide
| Setting | Recommendation | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Logo size | 15-25% of QR area | Balances branding and scan reliability |
| File format | PNG with transparent background | Clean overlay on colored QR |
| Error correction | High (H) | Automatic when logo is added |
| Contrast | Dark QR on light background | Best scan rates in varied lighting |
| Print test | Always | Catch issues before bulk print |
Customization beyond the logo
Match dot style and corner shapes to your brand. Use your hex colors for foreground and background. Transparent background mode helps when you place the QR on a colored print layout.
- Six dot styles from square to extra-rounded
- Three corner shape options
- PNG, SVG, JPEG, and WebP export
- Sizes from 256px to 2048px
