QR codes · branding
Why does my QR code stop scanning when I add a logo?
Because the logo is covering some of the code. QR codes can recover from missing information, but only up to a point.
In plain English
A centred logo can work well when the QR code uses enough error correction and the logo stays modest. Problems start when the logo gets too large, contrast gets weak or the clear border around the code disappears.
- Use high error correction when adding a logo.
- Keep strong contrast between the code and its background.
- Test the finished code on more than one phone before printing a large batch.
