Settings guide
Logo requirements:
| Spec | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Format | PNG with transparent background (no white box around the logo) |
| Shape | Square or circular icons work best. Wide rectangular logos are hard to fit cleanly. |
| Size ratio | Logo should cover 20–25% of the QR code area maximum |
| Color | High contrast with the QR background — dark logo on white background or vice versa |
Error correction: Always use Level H (30% recovery) when overlaying a logo. This is the maximum level and ensures the code scans even with the center covered.
Test rigorously: After generating, scan the code with multiple devices. The QR should scan as quickly as one without a logo. If it fails or is significantly slower, reduce the logo size.
Color matching: Set the QR foreground color to your brand's primary color to create a fully branded code — colored modules, your logo in the center, all cohesive.
Format comparison
Branded QR vs plain black/white QR: A plain QR maximizes scan reliability. A branded QR is slightly denser (due to high error correction) and the center is covered by the logo, which can marginally slow scanning on older phones. For most modern devices, a well-proportioned branded QR scans just as fast. Test before choosing for a high-traffic use case.
Generating a logo QR here vs Canva: Canva and similar design tools let you add a logo on top of a QR code as an image layer in your design, but this is cosmetic — the logo is not integrated into the QR's error-correction system. The QR generated here uses the error correction allocation correctly, meaning the logo replacement is compatible with the QR standard rather than just overlaid visually.
How it works
Enter your URL
Type or paste the destination URL. The base QR code renders with H-level error correction automatically.
Upload your logo
Upload a PNG logo (transparent background recommended). The generator overlays it in the center of the QR pattern.
Test and download
Scan the branded QR with your phone to confirm it decodes correctly. Download as PNG for digital use or SVG for print.
About this format
A QR code with your logo embedded in the center is immediately recognizable as yours. Instead of a generic black-and-white pattern, it carries your brand identity — which builds trust and increases scan rates, because people are more likely to scan a code they recognize as belonging to a known brand.
The logo sits in the center of the QR pattern. This works because QR codes have built-in error correction — up to 30% of the code's area can be covered and the code still decodes correctly. The logo covers a portion of the center, but the surrounding pattern carries enough redundancy for scanners to recover the full data.
Use it on packaging, marketing materials, business cards, promotional items, and anywhere brand consistency matters. A branded QR code on product packaging links to tutorials, warranty registration, or your Instagram. A branded QR on a business card reinforces your identity beyond a plain contact code.
This generator overlays your uploaded logo (PNG with transparency recommended) in the center of the QR pattern. Error correction is automatically set to H (30% recovery) to compensate for the logo overlay. Download as PNG or SVG for any print or digital use.
