5 Rules for Scan-Safe Branded Codes
- Never Cover Finder Patterns: The three corner squares must remain completely unobstructed by artwork or drop shadows.
- Keep Logo Under 25% Width: Keeping the logo at 20% to 25% of total width leaves a healthy safety buffer for Reed-Solomon decoding.
- Add a Margin (Buffer Zone): Ensure your logo has a clean border separating the artwork from adjacent data modules.
- Use High-Contrast Silhouettes: Simple shapes and monograms scan more reliably than complex photographic illustrations.

Frequently Asked Questions about Branded QR Codes
Clear, accurate answers to common questions about QR codes, privacy, and scan compatibility.
How to create a QR code with a logo for free?
Choose your QR code type (such as Website URL or vCard), enter your destination data, expand the 'Logo' panel, and upload your brand logo image (PNG, SVG, or JPEG). PureQR will embed your logo in the center and generate a print-ready vector file.
Why does PureQR automatically switch to Level H error correction when I upload a logo?
A logo placed in the center of a QR code physically blocks between 15% and 25% of the data modules. Level H (High) provides up to 30% mathematical redundancy via Reed-Solomon parity algorithms, allowing smartphone cameras to effortlessly reconstruct the covered data and decode the code reliably.
Is my company logo uploaded or stored on any server?
Never. PureQR performs 100% client-side rendering. Your logo image is read into your browser's local memory via the HTML5 FileReader API and composited onto the canvas locally. Your artwork and brand assets are never transmitted to any external server.
What image formats are supported for the central logo?
PureQR supports PNG, SVG, JPEG, and WebP formats. For best visual clarity, we strongly recommend using a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background or a vector SVG mark.
How large can my logo be before the QR code breaks?
The recommended maximum width for a central logo is approximately 20% to 25% of the total barcode width. Exceeding this boundary obscures too many data modules and will cause the scanner to fail.
