A QR code with a logo combines a scannable QR pattern with a brand mark, icon or image placed inside the design. The logo can make the code feel more connected to your business or campaign, but readability still comes first.
QRmakerX lets you upload PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG logo files, choose colors and gradients, adjust QR body and eye shapes, and download the result as PNG, SVG or PDF.

It is a standard QR code that has been visually customized by placing a logo or icon within the code. The destination or data is still stored in the QR pattern. The logo is a design element, not a separate destination.
QRmakerX creates static QR codes on this page. That means the encoded destination is fixed after the code is generated and printed.
How to Create a QR Code with a Logo Step by Step
1. Open the QR Code with Logo generator
Go to the QRmakerX QR Code Generator with Logo.
2. Enter the content
Enter a website URL, text or use one of the supported QR modes available on the page.
3. Add your logo
Open Add Logo Image and upload a PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG file, or choose an available built-in icon.
4. Choose the colors
Use a dark foreground and light background when possible. If you use gradients or custom eye colors, keep enough contrast for the scanner to distinguish the QR modules.
5. Customize the shape
Choose the QR body pattern, eye frame and eye-ball shape. Treat these as visual choices and keep scanning reliability more important than decoration.
6. Create the QR code
Generate the finished design and check whether the page shows a low-contrast warning.
7. Test it on real phones
Scan the final code before publishing or printing it. If possible, test on more than one device. For camera help, read How to Scan a QR Code on Android and iPhone.
8. Download the final format
Choose PNG, SVG or PDF depending on where the QR code will be used.
How Large Should the Logo Be?
A logo covers part of the QR pattern, so making it too large can reduce scanning reliability. QRmakerX is designed to support logos, but you should still keep the mark reasonably small and test the exact finished version.
Colors, Gradients and Contrast
Good visual contrast helps a phone distinguish the QR pattern from its background. Dark modules on a light background are usually the simplest combination to test.
If you use a gradient, custom eye color or unusual shape, scan the finished design again. QRmakerX includes a contrast warning when the foreground and background are too close.
PNG, SVG or PDF?
| Format | Good for | Main advantage |
|---|---|---|
| PNG | Websites, social posts, presentations and office files | Simple and widely supported |
| SVG | Business cards, packaging, posters and large signs | Scales without losing sharpness |
| Document sharing and common print workflows | Convenient document format |
Can I Change the Destination Later?
No. The QR Code with Logo generator creates a static QR code. The destination is encoded directly in the QR pattern. If the URL or other encoded content changes, create a new QR code.
If editability or scan tracking matters to you, read Static vs Dynamic QR Codes before printing.
Useful Ways to Use a QR Code with a Logo
Business cards
A branded QR code can point to a website, vCard, phone number, email address or WhatsApp conversation. See our Business Card QR Guide for placement and print considerations.
Packaging and product material
Use a QR code to open a product page, manual, warranty page or public PDF. If the destination is a PDF document, see the PDF QR Code Guide.
Posters, signs and marketing
Use a clear call to action near the code so people know what scanning it will open. Test the final size and viewing distance before large-scale printing.
WhatsApp and contact sharing
You can also brand contact-focused QR codes. See the WhatsApp QR Code Generator and vCard QR Code Generator.
How to Test a Branded QR Code
- Scan the QR code directly from the preview.
- Download the format you actually plan to use.
- Scan the downloaded file again.
- Test on Android and iPhone when possible.
- Check the final printed size before producing many copies.
- If scanning is unreliable, reduce logo size, simplify shapes or increase contrast.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upload my own logo?
Yes. The current QRmakerX page accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP and SVG logo files.
Does adding a logo make the QR code dynamic?
No. The logo changes the visual design only. The QR code remains static unless the underlying service itself uses a redirect or dynamic system.
Can I use the QR code commercially?
QRmakerX does not add a watermark to the downloaded code. You remain responsible for logo permissions, trademarks, destination content and how the code is used.
Which format should I use for a business card?
SVG is useful when the artwork needs to stay sharp at different sizes. Whichever format you choose, test the final physical print.
