💡 Why Generic QR Codes Don't Work for Branding
Standard black-and-white QR codes are functional but forgettable. When you're using QR codes for marketing,
social media, restaurant menus, business cards, or customer engagement, a generic QR code doesn't reinforce
your brand identity and can look unprofessional.
Professional designers charge hundreds of dollars to create custom QR codes in tools like Canva, Illustrator,
or Photoshop. Most online QR generators either lock customization behind paywalls or produce low-quality results
that don't scan reliably.
Our All-in-One QR Designer solves this problem by giving you powerful design controls completely free.
Create QR codes that match your brand colors, include your logo, feature custom text frames like "Scan Me"
or "Follow Us," and choose from artistic dot patterns - all while maintaining perfect scannability.
🎯 Perfect for:
- Restaurants & Cafes: Menu QR codes with "Scan for Menu" frames in brand colors
- Social Media Marketing: "Follow Me" QR codes for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn profiles
- Retail & E-commerce: Product QR codes with logos for packaging and displays
- Events & Conferences: Registration QR codes with event branding
- Real Estate: Property listing QR codes with agency logos and custom colors

💡 Pro Design Tips:
- Contrast is Key: Use dark QR dots on light backgrounds (or vice versa) for best scanning
- Logo Size: Keep logos at 30% or smaller for reliable scanning, especially in low light
- Color Psychology: Blue for trust (finance), Green for eco/health, Red for food, Purple for luxury
- Text Brevity: Keep border text short and punchy - "Scan Me" works better than "Please Scan This QR Code"
- Print Quality: Download as PNG at 600px+ for professional print materials
- Test Scanning: Always test your final QR code from the expected scanning distance before mass production
❔ Frequently Asked Questions
Will custom colors and logos affect QR code scanning?
As long as you maintain good contrast between the dots and background, custom colors scan perfectly. Our generator
uses industry-standard error correction, which allows up to 30% of the QR code to be covered by a logo while still
scanning reliably. Stick to dark dots on light backgrounds (or vice versa) and test before mass production.
What's the best logo size for QR codes?
We recommend keeping logos at 30% or smaller (0.3 on the size slider). This provides great brand visibility while
ensuring reliable scanning. If you go larger, increase the error correction level to "High (30%)" and always test
the QR code with multiple devices and scanning apps to confirm it works.
Can I use gradient colors in my QR code?
While our generator supports solid colors, you can create gradient effects by carefully choosing complementary colors
for the dots and corners. For true gradients, download the SVG version and edit it in design software like Adobe
Illustrator or Figma. However, be cautious - gradients can reduce scanning reliability.
What file format should I use for printing?
For professional printing, download as PNG at the largest size (800px) for crisp quality, or use SVG for vector-based
printing that scales infinitely without quality loss. PNG is perfect for most uses, while SVG is ideal for large-format
printing like posters, banners, or vehicle wraps.
Is there a limit to how much I can customize?
No limits! Customize colors, patterns, logos, text, size, and more - all completely free with no watermarks.
You can generate unlimited QR codes with full customization. Unlike other tools that lock features behind paywalls,
all our design options are 100% free to use.
Can I create QR codes that match my exact brand colors?
Absolutely! Use the color picker or enter hex color codes directly (like #FF5733). This lets you match your exact
brand palette from your brand guidelines. You can customize the dots, background, corner squares, corner dots, and
text independently for complete brand consistency.
What are the best text frames for different use cases?
Popular options include: "Scan Me" (general), "Follow Us" (social media), "Scan for Menu" (restaurants),
"Connect to Wi-Fi" (networks), "Save Contact" (business cards), "Register Now" (events), "Shop Now" (e-commerce),
"Watch Video" (YouTube), "Get Directions" (locations), and "Join Our Community" (groups). Keep it short and action-oriented!
Are these QR codes safe and private to create?
Yes! All QR code generation happens 100% in your browser using JavaScript. Your data, logos, and content never
leave your device - nothing is uploaded to our servers or any third party. You can even use the tool offline once
the page loads. This makes it completely safe for sensitive information like Wi-Fi passwords or business data.
