How to make one
Three steps, about a minute
- Make your codeChoose what it opens: a website, Wi‑Fi, a contact card and more.
- Add your logo and colorsUpload your logo or pick an icon, then choose dot and corner styles, colors or a gradient, and a frame with text like “Scan me”.
- Check and downloadThe scan check reads your design back with two QR decoders and checks contrast, margins and print size. Then download an SVG or a print-ready PDF.
Why a QR code still scans with a logo on it
QR codes carry spare information, called error correction, so a phone can still read them when part of the pattern is covered or damaged. At the highest level (H), about 30% of the code can be missing. A logo uses some of that spare room, so keep it to about a fifth of the code’s width, and set error correction to H in the Settings tab when your logo is larger.
Design tips that keep codes readable
- Dark code, light background. Phones look for dark modules on a light background, and light-on-dark codes fail on many phones.
- Enough contrast: brand colors work well when they’re clearly darker than the background. The scan check warns you when they aren’t.
- Keep the quiet zone: the empty margin around the code helps cameras find it.
- Use SVG for print so the code stays sharp at any size.
Questions
The things people ask most.
Does a logo make the code harder to scan?
Slightly, which is why the studio tests every design as you work. Keep the logo small, and use error correction H for larger logos.
Can I use my brand colors?
Yes: for the code, the corners, a gradient and the frame. Keep the code darker than its background.
What logo file should I use?
A PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF, ideally on a plain background. SVG logos aren’t accepted as uploads, since SVG files can carry scripts.
Is it free?
Yes. Every design feature is free for static codes, without an account.
