How to Make a Free QR Code With Your Logo and Colours (PNG and SVG)
Create QR codes for a link, WiFi, WhatsApp or contact card, add your logo and colours, and download PNG, JPG or print-ready SVG.
A QR code turns a long web address, a WiFi password or a phone number into a square that anyone can scan with a phone. Shops put them on posters, restaurants on menus, businesses on visiting cards. The good news is that making one is free and takes under a minute.
The free QR Code Generator lets you choose colours, shape styles and a logo, and download the result in several formats.
Quick answer
Open the QR Code Generator, choose what the code is for (website link, WiFi, WhatsApp and so on), type the details, adjust colours and add a logo if you like, then download PNG, JPG or SVG. The code never expires.
What can a QR code contain?
- Website link to a page, a shop or a social media profile
- Text of any kind
- WiFi details, so guests join without typing a password
- WhatsApp message to a number, with an optional message
- Phone number that dials when scanned
- Email with an address and subject
- SMS to a number
- Contact card that saves your details to a phone
How to make a QR code, step by step
- Open the QR Code Generator.
- Choose the type of code, for example Website link.
- Enter the details, such as the full address of your page.
- Pick the code colour and background colour.
- Choose the dot and corner style, and add your logo to put it in the middle.
- Set the picture size and download the format you need.
Which format should you download?
| Format | Best for |
|---|---|
| PNG | Websites, social media and everyday screens |
| SVG | Print: posters, banners, packaging, because it stays sharp at any size |
| JPG | Simple uses where a small photo file is fine |
Design tips so it scans reliably
- Keep strong contrast. A dark code on a lighter background works best. Inverted codes (light on dark) fail on some scanners.
- Do not make it tiny. For print, aim for at least 2 cm on each side, larger for posters read from a distance.
- Leave a quiet border around the code.
- Test before printing. Scan the finished code with at least two phones.
- Keep the logo modest. When you add a logo, the highest error correction is used automatically, but a huge logo can still make scanning harder.
Do QR codes expire?
Not these. The information sits inside the picture of the code itself, and nothing is stored on a server, so there is no monthly fee and no expiry. The flip side is that the destination is fixed: if your link changes later, you need to make a new code. For printed materials, make sure the link is one you will keep.
Practical ideas
- A WiFi code on the wall of a cafe or office.
- A menu or price list link on a restaurant table.
- Your Facebook or Instagram page on a shop signboard.
- A WhatsApp order code on packaging.
- A contact card on a visiting card.
Privacy
The tool runs entirely in your browser. What you type to make a code is not sent to or stored on a server.
