Branded QR codes that scan the first time

Adding a logo to a QR code usually means dropping it in the middle and hoping the code still reads. QR Alchemist takes a different route. Every QR code carries a fixed amount of Reed-Solomon error correction, a budget of how much of the code can be damaged before a scanner gives up. This tool measures that budget for your exact data and error-correction level, blends your artwork only into the modules it can afford to change, and then runs a real decoder on the result. The confidence badge under the preview reflects that decode, not a guess, so you know a code works before you commit it to 500 flyers.

How to use it

Type or paste the link or text you want the code to point at.
Upload a PNG, JPEG, or SVG logo or pattern, then drag the intensity slider.
Pick an error-correction level: higher levels survive more wear but leave less room for art.
Watch the confidence badge confirm the code still scans, then export a PNG or SVG.

Questions people ask

Will a QR code with a logo in it still scan?: It will if the artwork stays inside the code's error-correction budget. QR Alchemist keeps it there and decodes the finished code to confirm, backing the artwork off automatically if a setting pushes past what actually reads.
What image formats can I use for the artwork?: PNG, JPEG, and SVG. The image is sampled against the code's module grid, so bold, high-contrast shapes read best.
Do I need an account or an internet connection?: No account, and the work happens entirely in your browser. Your data and artwork never get uploaded anywhere, which also means you can generate codes on a locked-down machine.
Which error-correction level should I choose?: Use L or M for screens and clean prints where you want the most room for artwork. Use Q or H for codes that will be small, printed on packaging, or exposed to scuffing.
Can I generate a whole batch of codes at once?: Yes. The one-time Pro Pack adds an offline tool that turns a CSV of links into a ZIP of print-ready SVG codes, one per row.
