Create a QR code with a logo
Start with a useful URL code, then open the design controls to add a logo. Keep the mark modest, preserve contrast and test the exported result before publishing.

Create, test and publish with confidence
QR Studio creates static QR codes directly in your browser, so no content upload is required. Choose the content type, adjust the design and scan the preview before downloading. For print, use strong contrast, preserve the clear margin around the code and test a physical proof at its intended size.
PNG is convenient for digital use, while SVG offers scalable artwork and PDF supports common document workflows. Static QR codes do not expire, but their encoded content cannot be changed after download.
Before you publish
- Scan the exported file with more than one phone.
- For print, test a physical proof at its final size and viewing distance.
- Keep a clear quiet zone and use dark modules on a light background.
- Use high error correction with a logo, then verify every destination.

Use a logo without hiding the code
The shared design controls keep logo selection alongside color, module and error-correction settings. A centered logo covers data modules, so it can reduce scannability even when the design looks polished.
Customize carefully
- Enter and verify the URL destination.
- In design settings, choose a clear logo with modest dimensions.
- Keep strong foreground/background contrast and the quiet zone clear.
- Select an appropriate error-correction level; higher is not a substitute for testing.
- Scan the actual PNG, SVG or PDF export at its final display or print size.
Example: Add a small brand mark to a product-help URL, leaving the corner finder patterns and outer clear margin unobstructed.
Common mistakes
- Using a large logo that covers too many modules.
- Placing graphics in the quiet zone around the QR.
- Assuming high error correction guarantees a scan.
Limitations and privacy
- Logo processing remains browser-side; no upload backend is added.
- Busy logos and low contrast can harm recognition.
- Physical size, material, lighting and scanner software still affect results.
Frequently asked questions
Does adding a logo always scan safely?
No. A logo covers QR modules and can reduce reliability. Keep it reasonably small, use suitable error correction and test the final export.
Where is my logo processed?
The existing customization workflow handles the selected logo in the browser; QR Studio does not add an upload backend for this tool.
Which error correction should I use?
The tool exposes L, M, Q and H levels. A higher level can tolerate more obstruction but creates a denser code; testing remains necessary.
