QR Code Generator With Logo — Free Online

Drop your logo into the centre of a QR code so it looks like part of your brand rather than an anonymous square. Error correction is automatically raised to High, which is what lets the code survive having its middle covered. Both the PNG and the SVG include your logo.

How to use the qr code generator with logo

  1. Enter the link the code should open.
  2. Upload your logo — a square PNG or SVG with a transparent background works best.
  3. Scan the preview with your phone to confirm it reads, then download.

Why a logo in the middle still works

QR codes carry Reed–Solomon error correction, the same family of maths that lets a scratched CD play. Redundant data is spread across the whole pattern, so a reader can reconstruct what is missing when part of the code is obscured. At the highest level roughly 30% of the modules can be unreadable and the code still decodes — which is what makes a centre logo possible rather than merely lucky.

That is why this generator raises error correction automatically when you add a logo. The centre is also the safest place to cover: the three large corner squares are the finder patterns a scanner uses to locate and orient the code, and obscuring any of them breaks it outright no matter how much redundancy you have.

Keeping the logo within budget

Error correction is a budget you spend, and print quality spends from the same pot as your logo. Keep the logo to about 20–25% of the code's width and you have margin left for a smudged print run, a matte label or a phone camera in bad light. Push it towards 30% and the code may scan perfectly on your screen and fail on the printed sticker, which is the worst possible time to find out.

A logo with a solid or padded background reads better than one placed straight onto the pattern, because it gives the scanner a clean boundary instead of ambiguous modules at the edge. Simple, high-contrast marks survive far better than detailed illustrations or thin lettering. Always scan the preview with a real phone before downloading, and test the printed version again — and if it struggles, making the code larger costs nothing compared with reprinting.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a QR code with a logo for free?
Enter your link, upload a logo, and download PNG or SVG. Error correction is raised to High so the QR code with logo still scans.
Why doesn’t a centre logo break the QR code?
High error correction can recover roughly 30% damage. This generator covers about 22% with your logo and forces High correction.
What logo works best in a QR code?
A simple, high-contrast square mark with a transparent background. Fine text disappears at this size.
Should I test a branded QR code before printing?
Always — on more than one phone. Lighting and logo size affect scans. Test before any large print run.
Can I use coloured QR codes with a logo?
Yes if contrast stays high. Dark modules on a light background scan best; the tool warns below ~7:1 contrast.
Is this QR code generator with logo free forever?
Yes — no watermark on your logo QR, no signup, and static codes that do not expire with a subscription.
PNG or SVG for a QR code with logo?
Both include the logo. Prefer SVG for professional print; PNG for digital use.
Custom QR code logo size — how big is safe?
Keep the logo modest (this tool uses ~22% coverage). Oversized logos are the usual reason branded codes fail.
Does adding a logo upload my brand mark to a server?
No. The logo is read in your browser and drawn onto the canvas locally.
QR code with logo vs plain QR — which scans better?
Plain codes are slightly more forgiving. Logo codes need High correction and a real-device test, but work well when designed carefully.
