How to Add a Logo to a QR Code Safely
How to add branding to a QR code without overloading the center area or reducing scan reliability.
Use the logo as an accent, not the hero

Pair logo use with stronger error correction
When you cover part of the QR with a logo, higher error correction becomes more important. It is still not a license to cover too much.
Test different backgrounds
A logo that works on a plain light background may become harder to scan when the code sits on textured print, acrylic, or a colored surface.
