How to add a logo to a QR code
- Enter your website address (or pick another type such as Wi-Fi or contact).
- Press Add logo and choose a square image, ideally a simple icon on a transparent or white background.
- Choose dark and light colours if you want to match your brand, then download the PNG and scan-test it with a couple of phones before printing.
Why logo QR codes still scan
QR codes contain built-in redundancy called error correction. At the highest level, H, about 30% of the code can be damaged or covered and it still decodes. When you add a logo, this generator automatically switches to level H and keeps the logo to about a fifth of the width, inside a clear border, so the logo replaces only data the code can afford to lose. A recognisable logo also reassures people that the code is genuine, which matters now that fake QR stickers are a common scam.
For reliable scanning, keep strong contrast: dark modules on a light background, never the other way round, and avoid light colours such as yellow for the code itself. Leave the white border (quiet zone) around the code, and test at the final printed size.
The code is generated entirely in your browser by a built-in encoder, so the details you type are never uploaded, logged or tracked, and the QR code does not expire or redirect through a third-party service. Static codes like these work forever, but the content cannot be edited after printing, so double-check before you print a batch.
FAQ
Will a logo stop the QR code from working?
Not if it is small and error correction is high. This tool sets both automatically. Always test before printing.
What logo format is best?
A square PNG or SVG converted to PNG, simple and bold, with a transparent or white background.
Can I change the colours?
Yes. Keep the code dark and the background light for good contrast.
