How to Add a Logo to Your QR Code

Why Add a Logo?

Adding your brand logo to a QR code increases recognition, trust, and scan rates. Studies show that branded QR codes get scanned up to 80% more often than generic black-and-white codes.

Who Can Add a Logo?

Logo upload is available on the Free plan and Pro plan (a free account is required). Sign in with Google in the top-right corner to unlock logo uploads — it takes under 30 seconds and costs nothing.

How to Add a Logo — Step by Step

1. Open the QR Code Generator
2. Sign in with Google (free) if you haven't already
3. Enter your URL in the main input field
4. In the Design panel, scroll to the Logo section
5. Click Upload Logo and select your image file (PNG, JPG, or SVG recommended)
6. Adjust the logo size using the slider — the preview updates live
7. Download your branded QR code

Logo File Tips

• Use a square image for best results
• PNG with a transparent background looks best over any QR code color
• Keep the logo small — no more than 25% of the QR code area — to maintain scannability
• Avoid overly detailed logos; simple, high-contrast icons work best

Does a Logo Affect Scannability?

QR codes are designed with error correction built in — up to 30% of the code can be covered and still scan correctly. Our tool sets the error correction level automatically to maintain reliable scanning even with a logo overlay.
