A QR code that looks like your brand and still scans

Logo in the center, brand colors, module shapes, a frame with a call to action: the designer customizes your code and checks with every change that it still scans.

QR code type

This QR code will be editable after printing. Its final short link is created with your account.

The page to open. You can change it after printing.

Why a logo does not break the code

A QR code stores its data with built-in redundancy, thanks to Reed-Solomon error correction. At the highest level, H, about 30% of the pattern can be damaged or covered without stopping the scan. The logo uses part of that reserve. Denso Wave, the inventor of the QR code, publishes the four levels:

Error correction levels (Denso Wave)
LevelRecoverable shareRecommended use
Labout 7%Very dense codes, clean environment
Mabout 15%Everyday use without a logo
Qabout 25%Fancy shapes, gradients, dirty surfaces
Habout 30%With a logo in the center

The rules the designer enforces for you

  • Automatic H correction as soon as a logo is added; a logo without H is blocked.
  • Logo capped at 30% of the area, with an optional white margin around it; above that, download is blocked.
  • Measured contrast between modules and background: below 3:1 blocks, 3 to 4.5:1 warns.
  • Inverted colors (light modules on dark): a warning, since some older readers cannot read them.
  • Automatic re-read of the final render before every download, the way a phone would. An unreadable code cannot be downloaded.

Save a style you like as a template and apply it to other codes in one click: one template on the trial, 3 on Starter, 20 on Pro, unlimited on Business.

Files for print

PNG (up to 4,096 pixels) and vector SVG are included on every plan. Vector PDF with physical size and a CMYK option, plus the EPS some print shops ask for, are included on Pro. For offset printing, a CMYK logo and colors avoid surprises between screen and paper.

Three common design mistakes

  1. Brand colors that are too light: pale yellow or pink on white drops below 3:1. Use the color for the frame and text, keep modules dark.
  2. A logo touching the eyes: the three large corner squares locate the code. Leave them alone.
  3. A trimmed margin to save space: without its 4 white modules, the code struggles on a busy background.

To check an existing code, made here or elsewhere, the QR code checker measures contrast, margin and density.

Your codes keep working, even if you stop paying

Every code you create or edit on a paid plan keeps redirecting to its last destination, forever.

Static codes are included in every plan: they rely on no server and never expire.

Frequently asked questions

Does a QR code with a logo scan as well?

Yes with H correction and a logo capped at 30% of the area. The designer re-reads every code before download.

Can I use my brand colors?

Yes, as long as contrast with the background stays high enough. The designer measures it and warns you.

Which format should I send to the printer?

Vector: SVG on every plan, PDF or EPS in CMYK on Pro.

Can I save my style for future codes?

Yes, as a reusable template: 3 on Starter, 20 on Pro, unlimited on Business.

Does the design change when I edit the destination?

No. On a dynamic code, design and destination are independent: you change the link without touching the printed artwork, and the pattern stays identical.

Can I use a transparent background?

Yes for PNG and SVG. The designer assumes a white surface underneath, so check contrast against the real color you will print on.
