QR codes
Style a QR code: colors and logo
A styled code looks intentional instead of generic, and matching your brand colors makes people likelier to trust and scan it. Here's what you can change and what to watch for.
The three styling controls
In the generator you can set:
- Code color and background color - Keep contrast strong: dark code on a light background scans best. Navy on white is excellent; pale orange on cream will fail on older cameras.
- Logo - Upload a PNG and it's placed in the center. QR error-correction tolerates the covered area, but always test-scan after adding a logo.
- Size - Presets from 400px (web) to 3000px (large print).
A quick test-scan routine
Before anything goes to print, scan the code with at least two different phones - Ideally one newer and one a few years old. Test at the distance people will really scan from, and in the lighting where the code will live. Two minutes of testing catches nearly every styling mistake before it costs you a print run.
Restyle any time without breaking prints
Style changes don't affect the destination; you can re-download the same link's code in new colors any time without breaking previously printed ones. Every version of the code points at the same short link, so old flyers in last year's colors and new ones in this year's palette all work - And all feed the same private scan count in your dashboard. Rebrand as often as you like; the link underneath doesn't care.
