Overview

Why teams choose this workflow

QR codes bridge physical and digital — but generic black-and-white squares look unprofessional. By rendering styled QR code HTML as images, you create on-brand codes that match your visual identity.

Marketing, packaging, and event teams use this workflow to auto-generate branded QR codes for every campaign, product, or venue without touching a design tool.

Deep Dive

The Context

Plain QR codes work, but branded QR codes convert better. With Pictify, you render styled QR code HTML — with your logo, brand colors, rounded corners, and custom frames — as high-quality images. Use libraries like qrcode.js or QRCode.react to generate the QR code, style it with CSS, and convert to a shareable image via API.

Perfect for marketing materials, product packaging, restaurant menus, event tickets, and business cards. Automate QR code generation in your CMS or marketing platform — every new page or product gets a branded QR code automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a logo to the QR code?

Yes. Overlay your logo in the center of the QR code using HTML/CSS positioning. The QR spec has error correction that allows up to 30% of the code to be obscured.

Will the QR code still scan?

Yes, as long as you use medium or high error correction and keep the logo under 25-30% of the QR area.

What sizes work best?

1080×1080 for social media, 600×600 for print materials. Higher resolution ensures reliable scanning.
