Earlier we explained how to create a QR code quickly and simply using an offline tool, but let's imagine for a moment that you have alternative designs in mind or you need QR codes for a longer campaign. That's where QR.io comes in, which, besides helping you create QR codes with a logo and for free, also has a premium edition with statistics tracking, API access, support for custom pages, and more.
For well-known reasons, contactless technology has exploded in popularity, and QR codes hold a privileged position in that category. Whether you want to get a WiFi password or pay for a new computer, QR codes have managed to become part of our daily lives, and more and more users want to create them for their own projects.
How to Create QR Codes with a Logo on QR.io
If all you need is to create a static QR code, you don't even have to create an account on QR.io. The page offers ten different categories for creating codes (from basic links to WiFi passwords and Bitcoin payments), followed by extensive customization options. You can modify the color palette for the background, points, marker, and their borders, and even apply a gradient effect by combining two colors.
Shape and Form is one of the most interesting sections simply because it helps you set your codes apart from the classic generic designs. Why use dots when you can apply lines, crosses, stars, and even hearts to the QR code? With these combinations you'll create unique designs without sacrificing readability. Finally, QR.io lets you add an image in the center of the QR code (several are available, but you can upload your own logo) and generate a frame with custom text and color. The frame only offers three fonts, and it would be nice if more were added in the future.
Once the code is finished, take a screenshot of it and use it wherever you want. If you need to download a copy in PNG or SVG, you'll need to create an account on QR.io. This process includes a seven-day trial (which I recommend taking advantage of) for the premium edition. That edition enables the creation of dynamic codes, scan counts, link editing, API access, and the ability to create an unlimited number of QR codes.
Prices suggest the premium edition is aimed at companies with more advanced advertising campaigns, but don't worry about that. Creating QR codes with a logo and for free is very easy on QR.io, and you're just one click away. Give it a try!
