Can I add a PNG, JPG, or SVG logo?
Yes. ScopeQR supports common logo formats and centers the image inside the code.
Branded QR codes
Create a QR code with your logo
A logo can make a QR code feel more on-brand, but it also changes the scanning margin for error. The safest approach is to pair a simple design with strong contrast, enough quiet space, and the right error correction level.
Why logo placement changes scannability
A QR code works because scanners can still identify key patterns and decode the remaining data. When you cover the center with a logo, you reduce the amount of visible data, so the code needs enough error correction to survive that interruption.
That is why ScopeQR automatically raises the effective error correction level when you upload a logo. It protects readability without forcing you to think through the underlying encoding math every time.
How to make branded QR codes scan reliably
Use dark foreground colors on a light background, keep the logo reasonably small, and avoid low-contrast combinations. Export a clean vector or high-resolution file for print instead of stretching a small raster asset.
- Use high contrast between the code and the background.
- Leave a clear white border around the QR code.
- Keep the logo centered and modest in size.
- Test the final design on multiple phones before publishing or printing.
Best use cases for logo QR codes
Logo QR codes fit branded campaigns, packaging, retail displays, product inserts, restaurant table cards, printed flyers, brochures, and event signage. They work best when the destination is simple and the placement gives the user time to scan.

Common questions
Will a logo make my QR code stop working?
It can if the logo is too large or contrast is too low. Use strong contrast, enough white space, and test the final code.
Which export format is best for print?
SVG is usually the best choice for print because it scales cleanly and preserves sharp edges.
Do I need a dynamic QR code to use a logo?
No. A static QR code can still use a logo. Dynamic matters only if you need editability, analytics, or redirect control.
