QR code with a logo in the middle
Last updated: 6 July 2026
Yes, you can put your logo in the centre of a QR code — and keep it scannable. On 123smith it's part of the one-time $19 Signature unlock, which also adds a custom call-to-action label, fonts, print-ready SVG export, and removes the watermark. It's a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
Brand your code once, own it forever. Logo, label, SVG, no watermark — $19, no monthly fee.
See Signature →What Signature unlocks
- Logo in the centre — drop your mark into the middle of any code.
- Custom label & fonts — a "Scan me" call-to-action under the code.
- Print-ready SVG — vector export that stays crisp at any size.
- No watermark — clean codes on everything you make.
It applies to every code you create — free types included — and it's saved to your account, so it works on every device you sign in on.
Will a logo stop it from scanning?
Not when it's done right. A QR code has built-in error correction — it can lose part of its pattern and still decode. 123smith renders branded codes at high error-correction and keeps the logo within safe limits, so modern phone cameras read them reliably. As with any print job, always test-scan the final export before you print a thousand of them.
Why a one-time price (not a subscription)
Branding runs entirely on your device — there's no server cost to it — so charging monthly for it never made sense to us. Pay $19 once and own the design tools forever. The only subscription is optional dynamic codes, which genuinely do run on our servers.
How to add a logo to a QR code
- Make your code in the studio (contact, link, WiFi — any type).
- Unlock Signature ($19 once) to enable branding.
- Upload your logo, add a label and font, then export a high-res PNG or vector SVG.
