Custom QR Code Generator with Colors and Shapes: Design Guide

Learn how to customize modules, colors, and borders to create branded QR codes that stand out.


The Pain Point & Challenges

Generic black-and-white QR codes can look out of place on a designed package, but customization can sometimes break scannability.

The Dynamic QR Code Solution

Qodex lets you customize module patterns (dots, squares, round), eyes, and colors, with live contrast checking to keep designs readable.

Suggestions & Best Practices

  • Keep the background color light and use dark colors for the modules for optimal scanning.
  • Ensure the three corner alignment squares remain clear and unblocked.
  • Match your QR colors to your brand palette to create a cohesive look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use gradient colors in my QR code?

Yes. Use dark gradients for the modules against a solid light background to keep contrast high.

What is the maximum size for a custom logo?

We recommend keeping your logo under 30% of the center grid area to prevent scan errors.
