The protected center removes QR modules; it does not add a white box behind the logo. Test the final placement before publishing.

CHOOSE THE OUTCOME

Same payload, two design outcomes

Both examples encode the same short link. Choose the treatment that matches the job instead of forcing every QR into one style.

STANDARD CUSTOM

Brand-controlled and deterministic

Choose modules, finder shapes, colors, gradients, a logo, and export settings while keeping the QR structure visually explicit.

Artwork built around the QR

Describe a subject, material, mood, palette, or scene when the QR itself should become the visual concept.

DESIGN SAFELY

Four rules that protect scanning

  • Protect contrast

    Keep every foreground color clearly separated from every background color. The live guard checks the weakest pairing, including gradients.

  • Preserve the quiet zone

    Leave at least four clear modules around the symbol so nearby artwork or print edges do not crowd it.

  • Use logos deliberately

    A logo removes data modules from the center, so Scanfolk switches to H error correction and keeps a padded clear zone.

  • Test the final placement

    Scan the exported QR at its real size and on the actual background before publishing or printing it.

Common questions

Can I make a custom QR code for free?

Yes. Standard colors, shapes, gradients, logos, and static downloads are available in the generator without an account. Tracking uses a managed short link and asks you to sign in when you create it.

What contrast does the generator require?

The guard requires a minimum 4.5:1 ratio across every selected QR and background color pairing. Real-world scanning also depends on size, material, lighting, camera, and placement.

When should I use Creative instead?

Use Creative when you want the QR to become part of an illustration, character, material, or scene. Use Standard when precise brand control and a conventional QR structure matter more.
