A custom QR Code is different from a regular black and white QR Code. You can add a logo, colors, different data patterns, frames and CTAs and background.
Go beyond URL QR Codes! Choose from SMS, call, email, vCard, text, app download, PDF, and other QR Code types - that suit your marketing needs
Depending on the type of QR Code, fill in the required fields. It could be the URL of a website, social media page, contact details, app download link, text or a PDF
Make the most of our customization options to get more eyes on your QR Code! Add a company logo, try different data patterns, colors and a call-to-action frame
Get ahead and download your QR Codes in formats that suit your marketing strategy. Use .png & .jpg for online campaigns whereas .eps & .svg for offline marketing material
Let’s dive into the details of how you can make a truly unique QR Code with logo -
Upload your brand’s logo to the QR Code. Square logos work best and you can increase or decrease the size of your logo using a slider. If you don’t have a logo, you can choose one that is closest to your intended action to let users know what they have to do once they scan the QR Code. For instance, if you want users to email you, use the email icon as your QR Code’s logo.
You can customize the QR Code with colors to align with your brand or specific campaign. Either have a mono colored QR Code or one with a horizontal or vertical gradient. You can also change the color of the individual elements i.e. the data patterns, eyeball, eye frame and the frame of the QR Code.
You can add a frame to your QR Code to elevate your custom design. Especially when the QR Code is surrounded by text and other visuals, a framed QR Code can help it stand out and improve conversions. There are different styles of frames you can choose from and modify the color to align with your branding.
In the QR Code’s frame, you can also add a custom Call to Action. From CTAs such as Scan Me or Scan to Win or Buy Now, you can modify the text to drive more conversions for your campaign.
Another cool way to custom design your QR Code is to add a background. You can either add a solid color to the QR Code or even an image in the background. For instance, if you want to make a personalized vCard QR Code, your profile picture in the background will help users instantly connect the dots.

1. Scan
Engage and get users to scan custom QR Codes at your business location
2. Retarget

Adding a logo to your QR Code or altering the shape could lead to unscannable codes. We provide a custom scannability checker that checks the contrast automatically. When you create a custom QR Code with a logo or without one, the in-built checker will let you know if your QR Code’s scannability is poor, good or excellent or if it’s completely unscannable.
When you make QR Codes for physical locations or material, there are chances that it might get smudged, torn off or deteriorate over time. To overcome this challenge, all our custom QR Codes are automatically error-corrected. This means that even if 30% of your QR Code is not visible or damaged, your customers will still be able to scan the QR Code.
There is always some degree of deterioration due to normal wear and tear. With high levels of error correction (Level M - up to 15% damage), our QR Codes are always scannable.
