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.
Table of Contents
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
- Open the QR Code Generator
- Paste your URL or other content
- Upload your logo in the customization panel. PNG with transparent background works best.
- Adjust the size so the logo stays under 25% of the QR code area
- 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.
