How to Create a Custom QR Code With Colours and a Logo

QR codes are everywhere: menus, business cards, posters, packaging and event tickets. A plain black square works, but a code in your brand colours with your logo in the centre gets noticed — and scanned — more often.

01What you can put in a QR code

  • A website link, a menu, an online form or plain text
  • Wi-Fi details so guests connect without typing a password
  • A ready-to-send email or SMS
  • A phone number that is dialled with one tap

03Design rules that keep codes scannable

  • Keep strong contrast: dark dots on a light background work best.
  • Don't make the logo too large — it should cover well under a quarter of the code.
  • Leave a quiet margin around the code; don't place text right against it.
  • For print, use SVG or a large PNG so the dots stay sharp.

Frequently asked questions

No. The content is stored inside the code itself, so it works forever and needs no account.

Yes. The generator reserves space in the centre and uses error correction so the code still scans.

SVG — it is vector-based and stays perfectly sharp at any size.
