Why does the tool force High error correction?

A logo covers roughly 4% of the QR code, which can break scanners at Low/Medium correction. High (30%) redundancy tolerates the occlusion and keeps the QR readable.

What's the white plate behind my logo for?

It creates a clean separation between the logo and the QR modules so the scanner's edge detection isn't confused by partial logo shapes bleeding into the data grid.

What logo size is best?

The logo is drawn at ~20% of the QR width, which is the largest size that stays reliably scannable at High correction. Going larger risks decode failures on older phones.

Does the logo need to be square?

No, but square logos look best because they fit the centered plate. PNGs with transparent backgrounds work particularly well — the white plate fills the gap.

Will my logo be uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is read locally as a data URL and drawn directly onto the canvas. Open DevTools → Network to confirm zero outbound requests.

Can I use an SVG logo?

Yes. SVGs are loaded as image elements and rasterized onto the canvas. For print, use a high-resolution PNG (256×256+) to keep edges crisp when the QR is scaled up.

QR Code with Logo

Brand your QR code by embedding a logo in the center — still scannable.
