Can I add a logo to a QR Code for free?

Yes. Logo upload is available on the free plan, along with 2 dynamic QR Codes that never expire. Paid plans raise the dynamic QR Code limit and remove the watermark.

Can I put a logo in the middle of a QR Code?

Yes. Center placement is the default on TQRCG and the most reliable position, because the corner eyes stay untouched. Move the logo to a corner only when the design calls for it.

Why did my QR Code with a logo stop scanning?

Three causes account for most failures: the printed QR Code is under 1 inch wide, the quiet zone around the edge was cropped, or the pattern and background sit too close in tone. Reprint at a larger size and restore the border before changing the logo.

Can I change the logo after the QR Code is printed?

You can change where the QR Code points at any time, but the printed image itself is fixed. Design changes require generating and reprinting the QR Code.

Does a logo make the QR Code slower to scan?

No. Error correction runs as part of normal decoding, so a correctly sized logo adds no measurable delay.

Can I add a logo to a static QR Code?

Yes, though a static QR Code's destination is locked once it is generated. Dynamic QR Codes are the better choice for anything printed at volume.

Can I create branded QR Codes in bulk?

Bulk creation generates many QR Codes from a single upload, with one design applied across the batch. Bulk QR Code creation is available on paid plans.

What size should my logo file be?

Upload the highest resolution version you have. TQRCG resizes it down to fit the pattern, and starting from a larger file keeps the edges clean.

What is a QR Code with a logo?

A QR Code with a logo includes your brand logo within the QR Code pattern while remaining fully scannable. The logo sits in the center or a corner, and the QR Code's built-in error correction covers the area the logo hides. TQRCG lets you upload your own logo file, pick a template, or drop in a social icon, then generate the QR Code for free.

What can you customize on a branded QR Code?

Every QR Code on The QR Code Generator comes with 6 design controls that work together without breaking the scan.

Logo upload

Upload your own PNG or SVG file, or start from a built-in icon set covering social profiles and common app marks. The logo size slider adjusts how much of the pattern your mark covers.

Brand colors

Set the background, the corner squares, and the pixel color separately. Independent color control lets you match a brand palette exactly, rather than settling for a single accent color.

Pattern and eye style

Choose from classic, rounded, thin, and smooth pattern styles, and change the shape of the three-cornered eyes. Pattern style changes the QR Code's character without changing what it encodes.

Ready-made templates

Start from a pre-made design and adjust it, which takes less time than building a look from scratch. Templates come pre-checked for contrast.

Editable destination

Change where a printed branded QR Code points at any time from your dynamic QR Code dashboard. The design stays identical while the link behind it changes.

Scan data

See scans by time, device, and location for every QR Code you brand. Full breakdowns live on the trackable QR Code page.

How big can the logo on a QR Code be?

Keep your logo to no more than 30% of the QR Code's total area. QR Codes use Reed-Solomon error correction to store redundant data, allowing scanners to reconstruct information hidden behind logos. The standard offers 4 levels: L (~7%), M (15%), Q (25%), and H (30%). Exceeding the error correction limit creates unreadable gaps. Center placement is safest since the three corner eyes hold crucial alignment data, though corner placement works if those squares stay clear. TQRCG scales logo placement automatically and warns you when a QR Code becomes too small or too low in contrast to read reliably.

Where do branded QR Codes with logo work best?

Product packaging

Print a logo QR Code on cartons, labels, and inserts to link buyers to setup guides, ingredient details, or registration. Shoppers scan a QR Code carrying the same mark as the box far more readily than an unmarked square.

Business cards and name badges

Put a logo QR Code on a card that opens your vCard or portfolio. Contacts save your details in one tap instead of typing them manually.

Restaurant menus and table tents

Brand the QR Codes on menus, table tents, and receipts so diners recognize the restaurant before they scan. Menu prices and items update from the dashboard without a reprint.

Event badges and signage

Add event branding to check-in QR Codes, wayfinding signs, and session handouts. A QR Code that matches the event's visual identity reassures attendees that they are scanning the organizer's QR Code.

Retail displays and windows

Place branded QR Codes on shelf talkers, window decals, and end caps to direct shoppers to a product page or offer. Store staff can point to a recognizable mark when they explain what the QR Code does.

Print ads and direct mail

Carry your logo into magazine ads, flyers, and mailers so the QR Code reads as part of the creative. Each placement can point to a different destination while sharing a single design system.

What are the best practices for logo QR Codes?

Keep clear white space around all 4 edges of the QR Code, roughly 4 modules wide. Scanners need that border to find where the QR Code starts.

Use a single solid mark rather than a wordmark with thin lettering. Fine strokes disappear at small print sizes and add nothing a camera can read.

Scan the finished QR Code with both an iOS and an Android camera before it goes to print. Camera apps differ in how aggressively they correct for damage and glare.

Dark patterns on a light background scan most reliably. Inverted QR Codes and light-on-light pairings fail often enough to warrant testing twice.
