How to Add a Logo to a QR Code for Free
A QR code with your logo looks professional, builds trust and gets more scans than a plain black-and-white square. The good news: you can make one for free in under a minute with Loqo, a free QR code generator with logo support. No sign-up, no watermark, no expiry.
Step-by-step: make a free QR code with a logo
- Open the generator. Go to loqo.speakmi.com and choose a type: link, Wi-Fi, WhatsApp, email, phone or contact card.
- Enter your content. Paste your URL or fill in the details. The preview updates instantly.
- Upload your logo. Use a PNG, JPG, SVG or WebP file. A square logo with a transparent background works best.
- Adjust size and style. Keep the logo between 15% and 25% of the code width. Pick brand colors, rounded dots or circle corners.
- Download. Choose PNG for screens and social media, or SVG for print.
- Test before you publish. Scan the code with at least two phones.
Why a logo does not break a QR code
QR codes include built-in error correction. At the high level (H), up to about 30% of the code can be hidden and the data is still readable. That is why a centered logo is safe. Loqo switches to high error correction automatically when you add a logo.
Tips for a QR code that always scans
- Keep strong contrast. Dark dots on a light background scan best. Avoid light dots on dark backgrounds.
- Do not oversize the logo. Above 30% of the width, scanning becomes unreliable.
- Leave the quiet zone. Keep the empty border around the code.
- Use SVG for print. Vector files stay sharp on flyers, menus, packaging and posters.
- Shorten your URL. Less data means a simpler, easier-to-scan pattern.
Static vs dynamic QR codes
Static QR codes store your data directly in the pattern. They are free, work forever and need no server. Dynamic QR codes redirect through a paid service, which is why many "free" tools charge or stop working later. Loqo creates static codes, so yours never expire.
