QR Code Generator With Logo

How a logo fits inside a QR code

QR codes carry error correction — spare data that lets a scanner reconstruct the content even when part of the pattern is missing. At the highest level roughly 30% of the code can be obscured and it still reads. That headroom is what a centre logo consumes.

Keeping a logo QR code scannable

Cover no more than about a fifth of the code, keep the logo square and centred, and never let it touch the three large corner squares — those are the finder patterns a scanner uses to locate and orient the code. Always test before printing.

Placing your logo in the app

The TrustScan app places a logo in the centre of any code you create and raises the error correction automatically, then exports at 2,400 px or as vector SVG. Set the colours and error correction here, then use the app when you need the logo baked in.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add a logo to a QR code?

Yes. Upload one above and it is placed in the centre. Set error correction to Highest so the code still reads with the middle covered.

Will a logo stop my QR code from scanning?

Not if it covers less than about a fifth of the code and never touches the three large corner squares. QR codes carry error correction precisely so part of the pattern can be lost. Always test before printing.

Check it before you print it

Scan your own code with your own phone before you commit it to print. And if you scan codes out in the world — parking meters, delivery notes, table cards — use a scanner that reads the address out and checks it first. See the 21 safety checks.
