How to create a QR code with a logo
- 1.Choose content type - Select URL, Text, WiFi, Email, Phone, SMS, vCard or Location.
- 2.Enter your data - Fill in the required fields - for WiFi enter the SSID, password and security type; for vCard fill in the contact details.
- 3.Add a logo - Select 'Social logo' to choose a brand icon, or 'Upload logo' to add your own PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG image (max 2 MB).
- 4.Adjust logo size - Keep the logo under 20–25% of the QR size for reliable scanning. Error correction H is applied automatically when a logo is active.
- 5.Customize colors - Expand 'Customize QR code' to change QR color, background, size and margin.
- 6.Generate and download - Click Generate, preview the result, then download as PNG, JPG or SVG, or print directly.
Supported QR code types
URL
Any web address. Protocol (https://) is added automatically if omitted.
Plain Text
Any text up to the QR code's data capacity.
WiFi
SSID, password and security type. Guests scan to join - no typing required.
Pre-fills the recipient address in a mailto: link when scanned.
Phone
tel: link that initiates a call on a mobile device.
SMS
sms: link that opens the messages app with the number pre-filled.
vCard
Contact card with name, phone, email, company, website and address.
Location
GPS coordinates encoded as a geo: URI.
Custom and Social Logo Support for QR Codes
Choose from nine built-in social media brand icons: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram and GitHub. These are rendered as inline vector graphics in your browser - no external network request is made and no image is loaded from any CDN.
To use your own logo, upload a PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG file (maximum 2 MB). SVG files are sanitized before use to remove any scripts or unsafe elements. All image processing happens in the browser; your file is never transmitted anywhere.
QR code logo and scanning tips
- Always use error correction level H when adding a logo - this tool sets it automatically.
- Keep the logo under 20–25% of the QR code's total area for reliable scanning.
- Add a white padding background around the logo to visually separate it from the QR modules.
- Use high contrast colors - dark QR modules on a white background scan most reliably.
- Test the generated QR code with multiple scanner apps before printing at scale.
- For printed QR codes, use the SVG download for the sharpest output at any print size.
- Avoid overly complex colors or gradients on the QR modules - they reduce contrast and scanability.
🔒 Private browser-based processing - all QR code generation, logo rendering and image compositing happens locally in your browser using the qrcode library and the Canvas API. Your QR data, uploaded logo images and generated outputs are never sent to BeYourTools servers or any third-party service.
QR Code with Logo Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add a logo to my QR code?
Yes. Choose 'Social logo' to pick from built-in brand icons (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, GitHub), or choose 'Upload logo' to use your own PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG image. Your logo is never uploaded - everything stays in your browser.
Will the logo prevent the QR code from scanning?
QR codes have built-in error correction that allows a portion of the code to be obscured and still scan correctly. This tool automatically uses the highest error correction level (H, 30%) when a logo is active, which means up to 30% of the QR code area can be covered. Keep your logo under 20–25% of the QR size for reliable scanning, and always test before printing.
Why is error correction set to H automatically?
Error correction level H allows QR codes to be scanned even when up to 30% of the code is obscured. When a logo covers part of the QR code, you need this headroom for reliable scanning. The tool sets it automatically when a logo is active so you don't have to remember to do it manually.
What QR code types are supported?
URL, plain text, email (mailto:), phone (tel:), SMS, WiFi credentials (WIFI: format), vCard v3 contacts, and GPS coordinates. Each type generates the correct QR payload format automatically.
Can I download the QR code with logo as SVG?
Yes - when a logo is applied, the tool generates an SVG that embeds the logo as an inline image element. You can download PNG, JPG or SVG in all cases. For best print quality, use SVG.
Is my uploaded logo kept private?
Yes. Your uploaded logo is read locally using the browser FileReader API and composited onto a canvas in your browser tab. It is never sent to BeYourTools servers or any third-party service. SVG uploads are sanitized to remove scripts before use.
2D QR Matrix Standards & Printing Guidelines
Quick Response (QR) codes are two-dimensional matrix symbologies standardized under ISO/IEC 18004. Equipped with Reed-Solomon error correction (ranging from Level L at 7% recovery up to Level H at 30% recovery), QR codes allow reliable scanning even if portions of the printed matrix suffer physical abrasion, smudging, or partial obstruction by custom logos.
Quiet Zone & Contrast Ratios
Always preserve a quiet zone border of at least 4 modules around the outer edge of the QR code. Avoid low-contrast color combinations (such as yellow on white); dark modules on light backgrounds deliver the fastest camera decode speeds.
Vector Print & Privacy Security
Export your finished code in SVG vector format for crisp, infinite scalability on large signage, product packaging, and business cards without pixelation. All generation and camera decoding executes 100% locally in your browser memory-no private credentials, URLs, or scans are ever uploaded to a server.
Additional Technical FAQs
What is the minimum recommended print size for reliable scanning?
For standard smartphone camera scanning at close range (0.3–0.5 meters), print QR codes at a minimum size of 2 x 2 cm (0.8 x 0.8 inches). For posters and billboards, use a 10:1 distance-to-size ratio (e.g., a code scanned from 2 meters away should be at least 20 cm wide).
Are generated codes permanent, and do they ever expire?
All codes generated on BeYourTools are static and permanent. The encoded data (such as your URL, text, or barcode number) is directly baked into the graphical modules with zero server redirection, meaning they will function forever without expiration.
