QR Code Generator with Logo

What this tool does

This tool makes a QR code with your logo in the middle, so the code looks like yours rather than an anonymous square. Enter the link or text it should hold, upload your logo, and download a branded PNG or SVG. The logo is added right here in your browser, never uploaded.

How to use it

1. Enter the data the code should hold, usually a URL.
2. Upload your logo, and set the error correction level (choose the highest, more on that below), plus the size and colours.
3. Choose PNG or SVG, create the code, and download it.

Why a logo does not break the code

It seems like covering the middle of a QR code with a logo should stop it working, and the reason it does not is genuinely clever. Every QR code has error correction built in: redundant information spread through the pattern so the code still reads even when part of it is dirty, scratched, or hidden. At the highest level, known as H, the code can recover from a larger amount of damaged or hidden data than the lower levels. That does not mean you can cover 30% of the visible square with a logo, so keep the logo small, centred, and test the finished code on several phones.

A centre logo simply uses up some of that cushion. The logo hides a chunk of the pattern, and the error correction reconstructs what is underneath, so the code reads as normal. This is why the level matters: when you add a logo, choose the highest error correction for the most room to work with. It is the same property that lets these codes survive a crease or a coffee stain, put to deliberate use.

Getting it to scan reliably

The cushion is generous but not unlimited, so a few habits keep a logo'd code dependable. Keep the logo in the centre, where the code tolerates it best, and keep it reasonably small, comfortably under a third of the code, since a logo that sprawls too wide eats past the redundancy and tips the code into not scanning. Keep good contrast so the pattern around the logo stays crisp. And above all, test the finished code on a couple of different phones before you commit it to print, because a logo that is a touch too big is the one thing that quietly breaks an otherwise perfect code.

Done well, the payoff is real: a code carrying your logo looks trustworthy and on-brand, and people are far more willing to scan a code that visibly belongs to someone than a bare, anonymous one. It suits packaging, ads, cards, signage, and menus. To measure a campaign code, pair this with the Marketing QR Code Generator's tracking approach, and for the plain version there is the URL QR Code Generator.
