How to Create a QR Code with a Logo (Readable & On-Brand)
A branded QR code can carry your logo and colors — but only if contrast and quiet zones stay intact. This guide covers a safe workflow for marketing, packaging, and event materials.
Keep scannability first
QR codes include error correction, which lets a small logo sit in the center. Push logo size too far, or use low-contrast colors, and phones will fail to scan.
- High contrast between dark modules and light background
- Logo small enough to preserve finder patterns
- Quiet zone (margin) around the code
