Tips for a Scannable Branded QR

  • Keep contrast high — dark dots on a light background scans best
  • Logo ≤ 25% area — error correction covers the rest
  • Test before printing — scan from your phone at arm's length
  • Use SVG for print — infinitely scalable without pixelation

FAQ

Will adding a logo break the QR code?

No. SimpleTool automatically increases the QR error correction level to High (30% redundancy) when a logo is added. This means up to 30% of the code can be obscured and it will still scan reliably.

What logo size works best?

Keep the logo under 25% of the QR code area. SimpleTool handles this automatically — the logo is centered and sized to stay within safe bounds.

Can I use dark background with light QR code?

Yes, but ensure high contrast. The foreground (dots) should be significantly darker than the background for reliable scanning. SimpleTool lets you pick any color combination.
