Color guidelines

For reliable scanning, use a dark foreground on a light background. The QR error-correction system needs contrast between modules and background. Avoid light colors for the foreground, and ensure the background is significantly lighter than the foreground color.

Transparent background

The transparent background option removes the white box around the QR code, leaving only the dark modules. This is useful for placing QR codes on colored surfaces, photos, or patterned backgrounds in design layouts. The SVG format preserves transparency perfectly.

Get the exact color

Type or paste hex color codes (e.g., #6366f1) directly into the color picker. Both foreground and background can be set to exact brand colors. Download as SVG for the highest quality color reproduction in professional printing.

FAQ

about custom color QR codes
Can I use my brand colors?

Yes. Use the Foreground and Background color pickers to set any hex color. A transparent background option is also available for placing QR codes on colored surfaces.

Will a colored QR code still scan?

Yes, as long as there's sufficient contrast between foreground and background. Dark foreground on light background works best. Avoid low-contrast combinations like light gray on white.

How do I match my brand colors exactly?

Type or paste the hex color code (e.g., #6366f1 for indigo) directly into the color picker or use the visual picker to select the exact shade.

Can I use a transparent background?

Yes. Check the 'Transparent bg' option to remove the white background. The QR code will have transparent areas around and between the dark modules.
