What you can customise

6 QR code design options

Every option is available in the free generator — live-previewed as you make changes.

Brand colours

Set any hex colour for your QR modules. Match your exact brand guidelines — just keep sufficient contrast against the background.

Logo in centre

Upload a PNG or SVG logo to embed in the centre of your QR code. QR error correction keeps the code scannable up to 30% coverage.

Dot & module styles

Choose from square, rounded, dots, or classy corner styles. Rounded and dot styles give a modern aesthetic while staying scan-reliable.

Frame with CTA text

Add a frame around your QR with custom text like "Scan to order" or "Get 10% off". Frames increase scan rates by directing attention.

Eye / finder styles

Customise the three corner finder patterns (eyes) independently. Different eye shapes add personality without affecting scanability.

Error correction level

Choose from L, M, Q, or H error correction. Higher levels let the QR survive more damage or logo coverage — at the cost of added complexity.

Design rules

Custom QR code dos and don'ts

Customisation improves brand perception but can hurt scanability if overdone. Follow these rules.

Use dark modules on a light (white or very light) background for maximum scan reliability.

Test scan the customised QR code on multiple devices before printing.

Keep logo coverage below 30% of the QR surface area.

Download as SVG for print — it scales to any size without pixelation.

Use a light colour for modules on a dark background — inverted QR codes fail on many older devices.

Place the QR code over a busy image or textured background.

Crop the quiet zone (white border) — remove it and the QR may not scan at all.

Over-customise at the expense of scanability. When in doubt, test before printing.

FAQ

QR code customization questions

Can I add my logo to a QR code?
Yes. QR Maker lets you upload a logo image that appears in the centre of the QR code. The QR code uses error-correction to remain scannable even with up to 30% of modules covered by a logo.
Will a customised QR code still scan reliably?
Yes, if done correctly. Keep the module contrast high (dark on light is most reliable), don't cover more than 30% of the QR with a logo, and always test scan the final design before printing.
Can I change the colour of a QR code?
Yes. You can set a custom hex colour for the QR modules. Avoid light colours for modules — the scanning algorithm needs sufficient contrast between the modules and the background. Dark modules on a white or very light background always work best.
What dot styles are available?
QR Maker offers square (standard), rounded, dots, and classy corner options. Rounded and dot styles give a softer, more modern look while maintaining scanability. Heavier customisation should always be test-scanned.
Can I add a frame or call-to-action text to my QR code?
Yes. QR Maker includes frame styles with customisable text such as "Scan me", "Visit our website", or any custom message. Frames add context and consistently improve scan rates by 20–30% in A/B tests.
