Do QR codes with a logo in the middle still scan?

Yes, within reason. QR codes carry error correction that rebuilds the part a logo covers, and Emaki Studio sets the strongest level automatically when you add a logo. Keep the logo to the cleared centre and always test the code before you publish it.

Can I change the QR code colours?

Yes. Pick any foreground and background colour, or make the background transparent to place the code over a photo or coloured panel. Keep strong contrast between the code and its background so scanners can read it.

Is my link kept private?

Yes. The code is generated entirely in your browser - your link is never uploaded and there is no account. QR code generation is part of the premium element gallery in Emaki Studio.

How to make a QR code with a logo

A QR code turns a link into something people can scan with their phone. In Emaki Studio you generate one right on the canvas, style it to match your brand, and even drop a logo in the middle - all in your browser, with nothing uploaded. Here is how.

1. Open the editor and add a QR code In the editor, open the Elements panel and pick QR code from the Utility section. A dialog opens with a live preview that updates as you go.
2. Enter your link or text Type the URL or text the code should carry - a website, an Instagram profile, a phone number or any short text. The code is built on your device, so nothing is sent anywhere.
3. Style it to match your brand Choose the foreground and background colours, or make the background transparent to sit the code over a photo. Switch between square and rounded-dot modules, and set the quiet-zone margin around the code.
4. Add a logo in the middle Turn on Logo space to clear the centre, then upload your logo to bake it in. Error correction jumps to its strongest level automatically so the code still scans with the middle covered.
5. Place it and export Drop the code onto your canvas, position and size it like any layer, then export your frame as an image - ready to print or post.
