How to Add a Logo to a QR Code Without Breaking It
Add your logo to a QR code the right way: size, error correction, contrast and testing for reliable scans.
Why a logo can work at all
QR codes contain error correction: extra data that allows a code to be read even when part is damaged or covered. When you add a logo, we switch to the highest level (H), which tolerates around 30% of the code being hidden.
Best practices
- Keep the logo small — we limit it to a safe size automatically
- Use a simple logo or icon rather than full text
- Use a PNG with transparent background for the cleanest result
- Keep the QR dark and the background light
Always test
Logos make codes more fragile. Test the final download on several phones before printing large quantities.
