QR Code Generator With Logo

Upload a logo, keep it inside a protected central zone, and preview the QR with automatic H error correction before you download it.

Add a logo to a QR code

  1. Enter the destination or other QR payload and review the live preview.
  2. Upload a PNG, JPEG, or WebP logo up to 3 MB.
  3. Inspect the protected center, then scan-test the final exported size and placement.

Compare the same QR before and after your logo

The hydrated generator keeps the payload and styling identical, then changes only the centered logo treatment so you can inspect the real difference.

  • Without logo: the complete QR keeps H correction for an isolated comparison.
  • With protected logo zone: the same payload removes modules from the padded center and embeds the uploaded logo.

How the protected logo zone works

  • 18% target width: The logo is fitted to 18% of the QR symbol width, with a five-module minimum for small symbols.
  • 2.2-module padding: Data modules are removed from a padded central zone instead of placing an opaque plate over the QR.
  • Automatic H correction: Adding a logo switches error correction to H because the center intentionally carries less QR data.
  • Final placement test: Exported size, surface, lighting, camera, and surrounding design still need a real scan test before publication or print.

What the evidence means

The renderer and automated tests verify centered raster embedding, module removal, transparent logo placement, and automatic H correction. A cross-device logo-size scan experiment is still an open publication gate, so Scanfolk does not claim that every uploaded logo or placement is scan-tested.

Standard logo QR or Creative QR?

  • Use Standard with logo: Choose this when a conventional QR with precise brand placement is the goal.
  • Move to Creative: Choose this when the QR should become a character, material, illustration, or scene.

Common questions

Can I add a logo to a QR code for free?

Yes. You can upload a PNG, JPEG, or WebP logo and download a static QR without an account. Tracking uses a managed short link and asks you to sign in when you create it.

Why does Scanfolk use H error correction?

A centered logo removes part of the QR data area. H error correction provides the largest recovery allowance among the available QR levels, but it does not remove the need for a final scan test.

Does Scanfolk put a white box behind the logo?

No. The renderer removes QR modules from a padded central zone and places the optimized raster logo inside it without adding a backing plate.

Which logo files can I upload?

The generator accepts PNG, JPEG, and WebP files up to 3 MB, then optimizes the image before embedding it.
