How to Add a Logo to Your QR Code for Free
Step-by-step guide to adding your brand logo to a QR code with multiple preset icons, custom uploads, and design tips for reliable scanning.
By Free QR Generator Team ·
A plain black-and-white QR code works — but a branded QR code with your logo gets more scans. People trust codes that look professional and recognizable.
Logo Options in Our Generator
Our design panel includes three ways to add a logo:
- Upload your own — PNG, JPG, or SVG with transparent background
- Choose from preset icons — WiFi, email, WhatsApp, contact, menu, shop, and more
- Remove background toggle — cleans up logo edges for better QR readability
Steps to Add Your Logo
- Go to Step 2 → Logo tab in the generator
- Upload your logo file OR select a preset icon
- Switch to the Shape tab and set error correction to High (30%)
- Preview your code and test scanning from your phone
- Download as PNG or SVG
Design Rules for Logo QR Codes
- Keep logo size at 30–40% of the QR code area maximum
- Always use high error correction (H level) when adding logos
- Use logos with transparent backgrounds for best results
- Maintain strong contrast between QR dots and background
- Test on both iPhone and Android before mass printing
Frame + Logo Combination
Combine a logo with a branded frame and “SCAN ME” call-to-action for maximum impact on posters, packaging, and business materials.
