How to Create a QR Code with a Logo
- Choose the QR content type and enter the exact website, network, contact, message, location or event details.
- Start with one of the twelve original templates or build a clean design from the default.
- Adjust the module pattern, finder eyes, colours and optional gradient while watching the design preview.
- Optionally add a local logo, frame and short scan instruction.
- Review contrast, density, quiet zone, error correction and planned print size beside the final controls.
- Verify the encoded data, download PNG, JPG or SVG, and test the saved file on several phones before printing.

Create a QR Code for URLs, WiFi, Contacts and More
A QR code can open a website, display plain text, join a WiFi network, save a vCard contact, compose an email or SMS, begin a phone or WhatsApp conversation, show coordinates, add an event to a calendar or open a social profile. Choose the dedicated content type so the scanned result uses the correct URL, WiFi, vCard, mailto, telephone, geo or iCalendar structure instead of an improvised text string.
For a menu, PDF, Google Form, review page, video or downloadable file, use its public HTTPS URL. The QR image cannot host a private file by itself. Short, direct destinations create fewer QR modules and are generally easier to scan than long links filled with unnecessary parameters.
- Website and public-file URL QR codes with optional campaign parameters.
- Plain-text, WiFi, vCard, email, SMS and phone QR codes.
- WhatsApp, location, calendar-event and social-profile QR codes.
- Exact encoded-data view for checking the final destination before print.
Customize a QR Code with Logo, Colors and Frames
A custom QR code should remain recognizable as a machine-readable code before it becomes a decoration. Begin with one of twelve original templates, then edit the dark pattern, optional gradient, finder-eye colour, light background, module shape, eye style, frame and short call to action. The template is a working design preset, not a disconnected mockup.
A logo can help identify the destination, but it covers real QR modules. This tool accepts PNG, JPG and WebP logos only in the browser, limits the chosen logo area to 12, 16 or 20 percent and switches to H error correction. These safeguards reduce risk but do not replace testing with actual camera apps.
- Four module patterns and three finder-eye styles.
- Solid or two-colour gradient pattern with separate eye colour.
- Local logo placement with square, rounded or circular background.
- Outline, rounded-card and caption frames with editable scan text.
QR Code Error Correction, Quiet Zone and Data Density
QR codes use error correction to recover some information when the printed surface is damaged or partly obscured. The four common levels are L, M, Q and H. Higher correction can tolerate more disruption but also adds modules, making the pattern denser. M is a balanced default for a plain code, while H is the safer starting choice when a centre logo is present.
The quiet zone is the blank area around the QR modules. Keep at least four modules clear on every side and do not let borders, text, photographs or page edges enter it. The live review also flags weak contrast and high density; it is a practical design check, not a scanner simulation or guarantee.
- L, M, Q and H error-correction controls with plain-language percentages.
- Four, five, six or eight-module quiet-zone options.
- Pattern and finder-eye contrast ratios against the background.
- Density guidance based on encoded content and generated module count.
Best QR Code Size and Format for Printing
For close-range use on a card, form or table display, 2 by 2 cm is a sensible minimum starting size. For longer distances, begin with a QR width of roughly one tenth of the expected scan distance: a code viewed from 100 cm should be about 10 cm wide. Dense codes, glossy surfaces, low light and angled placement may require more size.
SVG is the best download for a designer or commercial printer because its vector shapes can scale without pixelation. PNG works well in websites, slide decks and office documents, while JPG is available for systems that require it. Print / Save PDF opens the browser print workflow. Always test the actual saved file at final size on the intended material.
- 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 px PNG and JPG downloads.
- Scalable SVG download with the selected colours, pattern, eyes, frame and logo.
- Planned print width and expected scan-distance check.
- Real-device testing reminder before bulk printing or permanent installation.
Static vs Dynamic QR Codes and Expiry
A static QR code stores its final data directly in the pattern. It does not depend on this generator after download, has no scan counter and does not expire on its own. A website QR code works only while the encoded destination remains online, and printed content cannot be changed without creating and replacing the QR code.
A dynamic QR code normally stores a hosted redirect URL. The provider can change that redirect and record scan analytics, which requires a server, account and ongoing service. This tool intentionally creates static QR codes only; it does not claim that a locally generated image can be edited or tracked after printing.
Private QR Code Generation in Your Browser
Website links, WiFi credentials, contact details, messages, coordinates, event information and logos are processed in the active browser tab by the included QR library and Canvas. The tool does not send this content to an external QR API, create an online dashboard or automatically save a project in local storage.
A downloaded image deliberately contains the data you entered because scanners need that data. Do not place passwords, confidential records or private access links in a QR code that will be displayed publicly. Anyone who can scan the code can recover its contents.

Choosing the Right QR Code Type
- Small businesses, freelancers and local service providers.
- Restaurants, cafés, hotels and event venues.
- Teachers, students, libraries and training teams.
- Business cards, portfolios, packaging, labels and printed campaigns.
- Users who need a static QR code without signup or a redirect provider.
- Designers who need editable SVG output and high-resolution PNG files.
Static QR, Scanning and Destination Limits
- Static QR data cannot be edited after the code is printed.
- The tool does not host files, shorten links, redirect traffic or track scans.
- Long content and high error correction create denser QR patterns.
- Contrast and readiness checks cannot guarantee performance on every camera, surface or lighting condition.
- Uploaded logos are raster images inside SVG output and still require rights clearance and print testing.

QR Code Generator FAQs
Is this QR code generator free and does it require signup?
It is free to use and does not require an account. Static QR codes and downloads are created in the browser.
Are my URLs, contact details or WiFi passwords uploaded?
No. QR generation and optional logo processing happen in the current browser tab without an external QR API or server-side QR storage.
Do these QR codes expire or have a scan limit?
The generated codes are static, so the QR image itself has no subscription, expiry or scan counter. A linked website or profile must remain available.
Can I edit the destination or track scans after printing?
No. A static QR code permanently contains its data. Editing and scan analytics require a hosted dynamic redirect service, which this privacy-focused tool does not provide.
Can I add a logo to my QR code?
Yes. Add a PNG, JPG or WebP logo locally. The tool limits coverage to 20 percent and switches to H error correction, but you must still test the final code.
Which download format is best for printing?
SVG is normally best for professional printing because it scales without becoming blurry. PNG is suitable for most office documents and web graphics.
What size should a printed QR code be?
Use at least 2 by 2 cm for close-range use and start with a QR width of about one tenth of the expected scan distance. Test at the real distance, material and lighting.
Why might a customised QR code fail to scan?
Common causes include weak contrast, insufficient blank margin, excessive data, a code printed too small, glare, blur, damage or a logo and decorative style that hide too many modules.
Can this tool create a QR code for a PDF or menu file?
Use a public HTTPS link to the hosted PDF or menu. A browser-only static generator cannot upload or host a private file for other scanners.
Can I make a WiFi or vCard QR code?
Yes. WiFi mode encodes the network name, security type, password and hidden-network setting. vCard mode creates a contact card with name, organization, title, phone, email, website, address and note.
What do L, M, Q and H error correction mean?
They are increasing recovery levels of roughly 7, 15, 25 and 30 percent. Higher levels tolerate more damage or logo coverage but make the QR code denser.
Can I use the QR code commercially?
The tool does not add a watermark or usage restriction to your generated image. You remain responsible for the encoded content, logos, trademarks and destination rights.
