Designing a QR code in the Design Studio

Patterns, corner shapes, gradients, frames with a call to action, your logo — and a check that it still scans.

For: EveryoneDifficulty: Medium⏱ 4 min

Step by step

Open the code and choose Design.
Start from Templates and brand presets, or build your own:
Colours — code colour, background and an optional gradient (top to bottom, left to right, diagonal or radial).
Pattern and corners — square, rounded, extra rounded, dots or fine dots, with square, rounded, circle or leaf corners.
Frame and call to action — a label below or above, an outline, or a pill label, with up to 30 characters such as “Scan for the menu”.
Logo in the middle — upload your mark and choose its size.
Watch the check under the preview. If it says the design does not scan, try more contrast, a smaller logo or a solid pattern.
Save. Choose Save preset to reuse the look on your other codes.

The Design Studio is included from the Growth plan, and works on your simple codes too.
Changing the design never changes where a code goes. Printed copies keep working, though they will not match the new look.
The check scans your design the way a phone camera would, at several sizes. It is a strong guide, not a guarantee — always test the printed piece.
