QR Code with Logo

QR code with logo: common questions

Does adding a logo break the QR code?+

No, as long as the logo covers less than 20 to 25% of the QR area. QR codes are designed with error-correction level H that tolerates up to 30% pattern obstruction. The tool enforces safe sizing. A real-world test: scan the downloaded QR with two or three phones before printing at scale.

What logo format should I use?+

SVG is best for logos because it scales without pixelation. PNG with a transparent background is also clean. JPG works but produces visible compression artifacts around the logo edge. Avoid screenshots of logos, they are usually low-resolution.

What colors should I use for a QR code with a logo?+

The dots must contrast sharply against the background. A dark color on a white background is most reliable. If you use a colored background, keep the dot color at least 3x darker in luminance. Avoid inverting (white dots on dark background) for print, as many cheap scanners struggle with inverted QR.

Can I put a logo on a dynamic QR code?+

Yes. Turn on the Dynamic toggle before downloading. The logo and colors persist in the QR pattern, and the code stays editable. Every scan still routes through QRSprint for analytics, but the visual appearance is whatever you designed.

How big should the logo be inside the QR?+

Keep it to about 15 to 20% of the QR area. For a 300x300 px QR, that is about a 50x50 px logo. For print, the QR should be at least 2 cm (0.8 inch) square so both the logo and the dots are sharp.

Can I use a competitor's logo in my QR code?+

No. Only use logos you own or are licensed to use. QRSprint's terms prohibit using the tool to infringe on third-party trademarks.
