How to Add a Logo to Your QR Code (Free, No Sign-Up)

Add your company logo to any QR code for free. Learn the 30% rule, best practices, and how to keep your branded QR code scannable.

A plain QR code works fine. A QR code with your logo tells people who they are about to connect with before they even scan.

Quick Steps

  1. Open the QR Code Generator
  2. Paste your URL or other content
  3. Upload your logo in the customization panel. PNG with transparent background works best.
  4. Adjust the size so the logo stays under 25% of the QR code area
  5. Download as PNG or SVG. Done.

No account. No watermark. Free forever.


Logo Size Rules

Rule Details
Technical max 30% of the QR code area (error correction level H)
Recommended 20 to 25% for a safe scanning margin
Too big? Code will not scan on some phones. Reduce and retest.
File format PNG with transparent background is ideal, JPG works too

Keep high contrast. Dark modules on a light background. A white border around the logo prevents it from blending into the pattern.


Good to Know

  • Does a logo break the QR code? No. QR codes have built-in error correction. Level H lets up to 30% be covered and still scan fine.

  • Best logo shape? Simple icons or marks. Detailed illustrations with fine lines and gradients look muddy at small sizes.

  • Can I add a logo to any QR type? Yes: WiFi codes, vCard codes, URL codes, all of them.

  • Do not invert colors. White QR code on a dark background fails on about 15% of devices. Stick with dark on light.

  • Always test first. Scan on at least 3 different phones before printing. Try bright light, dim light, and arm's length distance.
