Create a branded QR code with your custom logo in the center. Enter any text or URL, upload your logo image, and download a high-quality PNG with your logo seamlessly overlaid on the QR code.
QR codes have become a universal bridge between the physical and digital worlds. From restaurant menus and event tickets to product packaging and marketing collateral, QR codes are everywhere. But standard black-and-white QR codes look generic and lack brand identity. That's where adding a logo transforms a simple QR code into a powerful branding tool. Our free QR Code with Logo Generator lets you embed your company logo, brand mark, or any image directly into the center of a fully scannable QR code — no design skills or paid software required.
A branded QR code does more than encode a URL — it communicates trust, professionalism, and brand recognition. When people see a QR code with a recognizable logo in the center, they're more likely to scan it because they can immediately identify who the code belongs to. This is especially important in advertising, retail, and event contexts where dozens of QR codes might be competing for attention.
Studies show that branded QR codes receive up to 80% more scans than generic ones. The logo acts as a visual anchor, reassuring users that the code leads to a legitimate destination. Whether you're a small business owner, a marketing professional, or a freelancer building your personal brand, a logo QR code adds a layer of credibility that plain codes simply cannot match.
Our tool uses the QR code standard's built-in error correction to make logo embedding possible. QR codes have four levels of error correction (L, M, Q, H), with Level H allowing up to 30% of the code to be obscured while remaining scannable. We generate your QR code at the highest error correction level (H), then overlay your logo image in the center at approximately 20% of the total QR code dimensions. This ensures the code remains fully scannable by any standard QR reader while prominently displaying your brand.
The entire process happens in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. First, the base QR code is rendered using the qrcodejs library. Then your uploaded logo image is drawn on top of the QR code at the calculated center position and size. The result is a composite image that you can download as a high-resolution PNG file ready for print or digital use.
Creating a QR code with your logo takes just three simple steps:
Follow these guidelines to ensure your branded QR code looks professional and remains scannable:
Logo QR codes are versatile and valuable across many industries and scenarios:
Your privacy is guaranteed. This tool processes everything locally in your web browser. Your text, URL, and uploaded logo image are never sent to any server. The QR code is generated using client-side JavaScript and the Canvas API, and the final image exists only on your device. No data is stored, logged, or transmitted. You can verify this by using the tool while offline after the page has loaded.
Yes. QR codes have built-in error correction that allows a portion of the code to be obscured without affecting readability. Our tool uses the highest error correction level (H), which tolerates up to 30% data loss. Since the logo covers approximately 20% of the QR code area, the code remains fully scannable by all standard QR readers. We recommend testing with your phone after generation to confirm.
We support all common image formats including PNG, JPG/JPEG, SVG, GIF, and WebP. For best results, use a PNG with a transparent background or a JPG with a white background. Square images work best because the logo placement area in the QR code center is square. Non-square images will be scaled to fit within the allocated square area while maintaining their aspect ratio.
The logo will be automatically resized to approximately 20% of the QR code dimensions (about 50×50 pixels in the final output for a 256×256 QR code). However, uploading a higher-resolution image (at least 200×200 pixels) is recommended so the logo remains sharp and clear. There's no maximum file size limit since processing happens locally in your browser.
Absolutely. The QR codes generated by this tool are yours to use however you wish — commercially, personally, or for any other purpose. There are no watermarks, no branding from our tool, no usage restrictions, and no attribution required. The generated PNG is a clean image containing only your QR code and logo.
If your QR code fails to scan, try these solutions: (1) Use a simpler or smaller logo image. (2) Ensure your logo has good contrast against the white background area. (3) Try encoding shorter text or a shorter URL, as longer content produces denser QR codes with smaller modules that are more sensitive to obstruction. (4) Make sure you're scanning in good lighting conditions. In rare cases with very long content, reducing the encoded text length will improve reliability.
