Quick Answer
There is no universal safe logo size for every QR code. The payload length, module count, error-correction setting, contrast and physical display size all affect scanning. A centered logo covers data modules, so test the final exported code, not just its appearance.
Settings for this task
| Decision | Starting point | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Quiet zone | Keep a clear border | Do not crop it away when placing the code. |
| Logo overlay | Start small | Avoid finder patterns and increase only after testing. |
| Payload | Keep practical and stable | Longer content can make modules denser. |
Worked example
If a QR image is reduced from 1000 pixels to 200 pixels, every module becomes one fifth as wide. A code that scans at its original size may fail on a small printed label. Test at the actual physical size and viewing distance.
Step-by-step workflow
- Enter the intended destination and verify it before generating.
- Use strong foreground/background contrast and preserve the border.
- Add a modest logo overlay, then export the final code.
- Scan the exported result with multiple devices at its final size; confirm the decoded destination.
Limits and final checks
An error-correction percentage is not a guaranteed percentage of the image that can be hidden by a logo. This guide does not claim a scan test was performed for your particular payload.
