Customizing Your QR Code Design

After choosing your QR code type and entering content, the creation wizard moves to the design step. Here you can adjust colors, add a logo, and pick a pattern.

Colors

  • Foreground color — the dark modules that form the scannable pattern. Defaults to black.
  • Background color — the space behind the modules. Defaults to white.

Maintain strong contrast between foreground and background. Dark on light scans most reliably. Avoid combinations like light gray on white.

Logo

Upload a logo to place in the center of your QR code. QRelix positions it automatically, and the code's error correction keeps it scannable.

Supported formats: PNG, JPG, SVG. Square images with a solid or transparent background work best.

Patterns and styles

Choose from several module shapes:

  • Square — classic QR code look with sharp corners.
  • Rounded — softer corners for a modern feel.

You can also customize the finder patterns (the three large squares in the corners) independently from the data modules.

Tips

  1. Test before printing. Scan your customized code on multiple devices before finalizing.
  2. Don't oversize the logo. A smaller logo scans more reliably.
  3. Match your brand colors for the foreground, and keep the background neutral.
  4. Leave a quiet zone — maintain clear margin around the code, at least 4 modules wide.

The wizard shows a live preview as you adjust settings. When you're happy with the design, continue to Security & Access Controls or skip ahead to Downloading & Printing.
