How to Make a QR Code with a Logo

A QR code with your logo looks far more professional than a plain square - and, done right, it scans perfectly. The trick is giving the code room to absorb the logo. Our generator uses high error correction (level H) so a centered logo can cover part of the pattern without losing data.

Why a logo makes sense

Branded codes get more attention, look intentional on packaging and marketing materials, and build trust - people recognize who made the thing before they scan it. A black-and-white square tells them nothing.

Step-by-step

1. Open the generator and pick your QR type - URL, WiFi, vCard or text - then enter the content.
2. Choose your brand colors for the foreground and background.
3. Set a module shape you like: square, rounded, or dots.
4. Upload your logo - it is placed in the center automatically.
5. Generate and preview the result.
6. Always test-scan the preview with your phone before printing.

Keep it scannable

• Use dark foreground on a light background - strong contrast is what scanners read.
• Keep the logo reasonably sized; shorter content (like a short URL) means bigger modules and more tolerance.
• Avoid light-on-dark inversions and low-contrast pairs like yellow on white.
• Test-scan everything your phone's camera before it goes to print.

High error correction (level H) is what lets a centered logo exist without breaking the scan - it is built in, not an afterthought.

Colors, shapes and a centered logo are available free for standard QR codes, with PNG and SVG download. When you push custom design further - an artistic background that is still a perfectly scannable QR pattern - that is exactly what our AI Art page delivers.
