QR Code Generator With Logo
Create a branded QR code from a URL or text. Add a PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG logo, adjust its size and color, then download the result as PNG.
Most commonly a website URL, but any text works too.
A plain QR code is useful, but it may not look connected to your brand. This QR code generator with logo lets you encode a URL or plain text, place your logo in the center, choose a foreground color, and export the finished design as a PNG. You can also create a code without a logo when you want a simpler result.
What Is a QR Code Generator With Logo?
A QR code generator with logo creates a standard QR code and adds a brand mark at its center. The code still contains the URL or text you enter. The logo is a visual layer, not part of the encoded destination.
This tool is designed for static QR codes. After you download the image, its encoded content does not change. If you create a code for a URL, you can update the page at that URL, but changing the encoded URL itself requires a new QR code.
What You Can Create
Use the tool when you need a branded QR code for a website address or a short piece of plain text. The input accepts either type of content, so there is no separate mode to select.
- Website links: Send customers to a landing page, portfolio, booking page, product page, social profile, or online menu.
- Plain text: Share a short instruction, reference number, message, location note, or other text that a scanner can read.
- Logo optional: Upload a logo for a branded design or leave the logo field empty to generate a standard QR code.
For a link-focused workflow without logo controls, use the URL QR Code Generator. You can also browse the full collection of QR Code Tools for WiFi, vCard, email, location, and other structured formats.
Supported Logo Formats and File Limit
You can add one PNG, JPG or JPEG, WebP, or SVG logo under 2 MB. A clean square logo usually works best because the tool centers it inside the QR code. PNG is a practical choice for logos with transparency, while JPG can work for a logo on a solid background.
SVG files are accepted, but browser rendering can vary when an SVG has unusual fonts, external assets, scripts, or missing dimensions. If an SVG does not appear correctly, export it as a PNG and try again.
How to Use the QR Code Generator With Logo
- Enter a URL or text. Paste the exact content you want the code to contain. Include the full
https://address for a website. - Add your logo. Choose a supported image under 2 MB. This step is optional.
- Adjust the logo size. The slider runs from 12% to 30% and starts at 22%. A smaller setting generally leaves more QR modules visible.
- Select the QR size. Choose 300, 400, 600, or 1000 pixels for the QR symbol. If the safe white margin is enabled, the downloaded canvas will be larger than the selected symbol size.
- Choose a foreground color. Use a dark color that contrasts clearly with the fixed white background.
- Keep or remove the safe margin. The optional white area around the code helps scanners distinguish it from nearby design elements.
- Generate and test. Select Generate QR Code With Logo, scan the result with more than one device, then download the PNG or copy the image.
Logo Size, Error Correction, and Scannability
A logo covers some of the QR code's modules, so it always introduces a scanning risk. This generator uses High error correction for every code. High error correction adds more redundancy, but it does not guarantee that any logo size, color, print method, or damaged code will scan.
The 12% to 30% slider is a visual control, not a certified safe coverage range. When the safe margin is enabled, the percentage is calculated from the final canvas, including that margin. Start conservatively, keep the logo simple, and reduce its size if scanning is slow or inconsistent.
Error correction percentages refer to recoverable codewords under the QR specification. They should not be interpreted as permission to cover the same percentage of the image with a logo. Logo placement can affect important patterns and groups of nearby modules differently from random damage.
Customization and Output Options
- QR symbol size: 300, 400, 600, or 1000 pixels.
- Foreground color: Choose the color of the dark QR modules.
- Background: Fixed white to preserve a clear light background.
- Error correction: Fixed at High.
- Logo size: Adjustable from 12% to 30%, with 22% selected initially.
- Safe margin: Optional white space around the QR symbol.
- Output: Download a PNG file or copy the generated image.
The selected pixel size refers to the QR symbol before the optional margin is added. For example, a 600-pixel symbol produces a larger final PNG when the margin is enabled. Choose 600 or 1000 pixels when you expect to place the image in a larger print layout, then confirm the final physical size with your designer or printer.
The QR code generator with logo exports PNG rather than SVG or PDF. Keep the original logo file and the generated high-resolution PNG with your campaign assets so you can recreate the design if the destination changes.
Design Tips for a Branded QR Code
Use Strong Contrast
Choose a dark foreground against the white background. Pale colors may look attractive on screen but can give scanners too little contrast, especially after printing.
Keep the Logo Simple
A compact icon or monogram is usually easier to recognize at a small size than a detailed horizontal logo. Remove tiny taglines and unnecessary empty space around the artwork before uploading it.
Leave the Safe Margin Enabled
Avoid placing text, borders, photos, or other graphics directly against the code. The white margin provides separation from the surrounding layout.
Keep the Encoded Content Concise
Long content can produce a denser QR pattern. For campaigns, use a short, stable HTTPS URL that you control instead of placing a long paragraph inside the code.
Test the Final Printed Version
A code that scans on a bright monitor may behave differently on matte paper, glossy packaging, fabric, curved surfaces, or a small label. Test the exact exported file at its intended print size, viewing distance, material, and lighting before producing a large batch.
Common Uses for QR Codes With Logos
A QR code generator with logo is most useful when the code appears on customer-facing material and the brand needs to be recognizable at a glance. Use the logo as a visual identifier, while letting the nearby call to action explain what will open after scanning.
- Business cards: Link a company logo QR code to a portfolio, contact page, or appointment form.
- Product packaging: Direct buyers to instructions, authenticity details, recipes, or a product page.
- Restaurant materials: Add a branded code to menus, table cards, takeaway packaging, or feedback cards.
- Events: Place a sponsor or organizer logo in a code that opens registration, schedules, maps, or event resources.
- Retail displays: Connect shelf cards, posters, and counter signs to product information or current offers.
- Marketing materials: Use a custom QR code with logo on brochures and flyers while keeping the destination consistent with the call to action.
Static QR Codes, Tracking, and Expiry
The tool creates a static QR code. The destination or text is stored directly in the code, so there is no SanishTech redirect, dashboard, scan counter, or editable destination. The generated code has no built-in expiration date.
A static code can still stop being useful if its linked page is moved, deleted, blocked, or allowed to expire. Use a URL you expect to maintain. If you need analytics, you can point the code to a URL on a website where you already use your own analytics, subject to your privacy and consent requirements.
Privacy and Accuracy Notes
The QR code generator with logo reads the selected image with the browser's file tools and combines it with the QR image on the page, so the QR rendering and logo compositing step does not require sending the logo to a separate QR-rendering server. Your encoded URL or text will still be visible to anyone who scans the completed code, so do not encode passwords, private access tokens, or other sensitive information.
Always scan the generated result before sharing or printing it. Confirm that the decoded URL or text is exact, that the destination is safe and active, and that the logo has not made scanning unreliable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What content can I encode with this QR code generator with logo?
You can encode a website URL or plain text. Paste the full HTTPS address when linking to a webpage. For WiFi, vCard, email, location, and other structured data, use the matching tool in the SanishTech QR Code Tools collection.
Which logo file formats can I upload?
You can upload one PNG, JPG or JPEG, WebP, or SVG file under 2 MB. PNG is often the easiest option for a logo with transparency. If an SVG does not render correctly, export it as a PNG and try again.
Can I customize the QR code's size and color?
Yes. You can choose a 300, 400, 600, or 1000-pixel QR symbol, select the foreground color, adjust the logo from 12% to 30%, and turn the safe white margin on or off. The background is fixed white and error correction is fixed at High.
What file does the tool create?
The tool creates a PNG image. You can download it or copy the image to your clipboard when your browser supports image copying.
Is the QR code generator with logo free and does it require an account?
Yes. You can generate and download a branded QR code without creating an account or signing in.
Is my logo uploaded to a server?
The generator reads the selected logo with browser file tools and combines it with the QR image on the page. The QR rendering and logo compositing step does not require uploading the file to a separate QR-rendering server.
Does adding a logo make a QR code harder to scan?
It can. A logo hides some QR modules, so reduce the logo size if scanning is slow or inconsistent. This tool uses High error correction, but that does not guarantee reliable scanning. Test the finished code on multiple devices and in its final printed form.
What logo size should I use in a QR code?
There is no single percentage that is safe for every logo and QR code. The tool offers 12% to 30% and starts at 22%, but the best setting depends on content density, logo shape, contrast, output size, and print conditions. Start smaller and scan-test the actual result.
Can I edit the destination or track scans later?
No. This generator creates a static QR code with no editable redirect or built-in scan tracking. To change the encoded URL or text, generate a new code. You can still update the content of a webpage at the same URL.
Do QR codes with logos expire?
The generated QR image has no built-in expiration date. A URL-based code will only remain useful while its destination is active and accessible, so use a stable address that you control and retest printed codes periodically.
