QR codes that look like your brand.

Set your colors, pick a module shape, drop in a logo. Preview live and export in the format you need.

Shapes

Three module styles

Classic square, rounded, or dot. Keep scans reliable across all three.

Color

Hex-perfect

Set foreground and background with hex. Contrast checker warns if a scan is at risk.

Logo slot

Center image

PNG or SVG. Auto-sized to the safe zone; error correction boosted automatically.

Workflow

Design workflow for a shared code library

Custom styling scales only when it stops being a per-code decision. This is how teams industrialise it.

  1. 1

    Define the house style once

    Foreground, background, module shape, and logo treatment. Decide as a team, then never relitigate it per code.

  2. 2

    Save it as a workspace preset

    Presets make the correct choice the default choice for every teammate, including the ones who joined last week.

  3. 3

    Generate dynamic, style second

    Styling is cosmetic; the dynamic destination is the asset. Get the routing right first, then dress it.

  4. 4

    Contrast-check every variant

    If a placement demands a different background, re-run the contrast check rather than assuming the preset still holds.

  5. 5

    Proof at final size

    A code approved at screen size can fail at coaster size. Print a proof at real dimensions and scan it in the actual lighting.

  6. 6

    Version the preset, not the codes

    When brand evolves, update the preset for new codes. Existing dynamic codes keep working, so there is no scramble.

Best practices

Styling best practices for teams

Keep it beautiful and keep it scanning.

Solid colours only

Gradients and textures reduce module clarity. Save the flourish for the frame around the code.

Add a quiet zone

Leave clear space around the code equal to four modules. Designers crop it; scanners need it.

Give the code a call to action

'Scan for the menu' outperforms a bare code. Put the instruction in the layout, not in the QR.

Keep one master file per code

One source of truth in the shared library prevents three slightly different versions in three decks.

Frequently asked

Can I use gradients or textures?

Solid colors only — gradients hurt scan reliability. We'd rather ship a QR that works than a QR that looks great and fails.

Can the QR code be any color?

Any color, as long as the contrast between fg and bg is high enough. Our editor warns you if it isn't.

Which format is best for print?

SVG. Infinite resolution, tiny file size.
