Put any photo in the middle of your QR code, not just a logo. Free native app for Windows and Mac, resize it, preview it live, and export in high resolution with no watermark.
or start with a free QR code online, then add your photo in the desktop appThree real QR codes, made with Codex QR, each with a different picture at the center instead of a logo.
Every code above is real and scannable, point your camera at one to try it.
Most "QR code with logo" tools stop at a small square brand logo. Codex QR doesn't draw that line.
A QR code with a picture works exactly like any other QR code; the difference is what sits at the center. Instead of a generic logo, you choose the exact photo you want: a couple's engagement photo on a wedding favor, a pet's face on their ID tag, a product shot on the packaging, a team photo on an event badge. Codex QR's "Add Logo" feature accepts any image file from your computer, so the picture in the middle is whatever you decide it should be.
It also changes how people react to the code. A plain black-and-white square can feel like a dead end, something to scan with caution. A code with a recognizable photo signals it belongs to someone, which makes it feel safer and more worth scanning, especially on a personal item like a gift tag or an invitation.
The whole thing happens inside the app, on your computer. You pick the photo from your own files, drag a slider to resize it, and watch the preview update live, no upload, no waiting on a server to process your image.
Four steps, no design software, done entirely in the Codex QR desktop app.
Open Codex QR and create any type of code: a link, Wi-Fi, a vCard, plain text, whatever you need.
Tap "Add Logo" and choose any picture from your computer, not just a square brand logo.
Drag the size slider until the photo sits cleanly in the center without covering too much of the code.
Download the finished QR code as a high-resolution image, ready to print or share, no watermark.
Anywhere a plain black-and-white square would feel impersonal.
Put the couple's photo in the code on invitations or favor tags that link to the registry or photo album.
Add your pet's photo to a tag that opens their vet info or your contact details if they wander off.
Show a dish photo next to the code that opens today's menu or specials.
Put a product photo on the box next to the code that opens setup guides or reviews.
Hand clients a code with their own portrait that opens the full online gallery.
A photo of the moment turns a plain gift tag into a keepsake that also links to a video or playlist.
Attendee photo on the badge, code underneath linking to their profile or the event schedule.
Frame a family photo code that opens a video message or a shared photo album.
A QR code only works if phones can still read it once the photo is in place.
Keep the photo to a small part of the code, centered. Covering too much of the pattern makes it unreadable.
QR codes can lose part of their pattern and still scan correctly, which is exactly what makes adding an image in the first place possible.
A code with a photo still needs to be big enough for where people will stand when they scan it.
Scan the finished code with two or three different phones before printing or sharing it anywhere.
