Everything a printed code should be able to do
Once a code is on a menu, a box, or a billboard, reprinting is the expensive part. Dynamic links move the decisions into your account instead.
Per-scan analytics
ProEvery scan recorded with approximate city, device, OS, and time, exportable to CSV. Free plans keep aggregate counts by day, device, and country.
Repoint any time
FreeChange where a printed code goes in seconds. 3 links free with unlimited scans; unlimited links on Pro.
Your domain on the code
ProScanners see your name, not ours, with custom endings you choose instead of a random slug.
A file behind the code
ProHost a PDF or image at the code itself and swap the file without reprinting. Menus, spec sheets, price lists.
replaced, same code
Smart routing
ProOne code, many destinations: route each scan by country, language, device platform, or time of day.
Pages
ProA hosted page of blocks behind one code, editable any time. One QR for everything you do.

Made in your browser
Static codes are generated entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you create a dynamic link or host a file, and we say exactly what those store.
No scan-count paywall
Free dynamic links have unlimited scans, and a link you actually use never expires. A free link with no scans at all for 90 days is reclaimed after two email warnings; one scan or one click keeps it. A code that is out in the world doing its job keeps working; we do not hold it hostage.
Data you can erase
Free plans keep aggregate counts only. Pro per-scan records are kept about 90 days, and you can export or delete them at any time.

How a logo fits inside a QR code
QR codes are built to survive damage: error correction stores the data redundantly, so a code can lose part of its surface and still decode. A center logo simply uses that tolerance on purpose. When you add one, Reticle automatically raises error correction to the highest level, so the modules hidden behind your logo are recovered from the rest of the code.
The free Studio shows this live: drop in the logo, watch the code redraw, and the design gets checked by scanning it back before you download it, right on your own device.
Upload your own logo
In the Studio's Center and logo section, choose the logo control and pick any image your browser can display: PNG, JPEG, SVG, WebP, or GIF. Transparent backgrounds are kept, so a round or irregular mark sits cleanly on the code. An oversized image is scaled down automatically, which keeps saved codes small without you having to resize anything first.
Or pick from 150+ built-in icons
No logo file handy? Open the icon picker and search or browse by category: arrows, food and drink, travel, social, payment, and more. Each icon is a crisp vector that stays sharp at any export size, and Reticle suggests icons that fit the content type you're building. Icons save with your codes and ride along on dynamic links.
Keep it scannable
The scanability tag in the Studio warns you when a design is getting risky, and the decode-back check is the proof: it decodes your finished code on your own device before download. Print at least 2 cm (about an inch) square, keep strong contrast between code and background, and leave a quiet margin around the code. For codes that will be handled a lot, the highest error-correction level (set automatically with a logo) also buys resistance to scuffs and folds.
Works with every content type
Logos aren't just for links: add one to Wi-Fi codes, vCards, event invites, payment codes, or plain text. And if you want a code you can edit after printing, sign in and make it a dynamic link with the same styling; the free plan includes 3.
Frequently asked questions
Will a logo stop my QR code from scanning?
Not if it's sized sensibly, and Reticle handles that for you: adding a logo automatically raises error correction to the highest level, which lets the code lose the area under the logo and still decode. The Studio checks your design by scanning it back before download, to prove the finished code reads on your own device.
What image formats can I use for the logo?
Any image your browser can display: PNG, JPEG, SVG, WebP, or GIF. Transparent backgrounds are kept, and an oversized image is scaled down automatically so saved codes stay small and fast.
Is there a watermark or a charge for adding a logo?
No. Logos, icons, colors, and every export format are free, with no watermark and no sign-up. Your logo never leaves your browser unless you sign in and save the code to your account.
Can I use an icon instead of my own logo?
Yes. Reticle includes 150+ built-in icons you can search or browse by category: arrows, food, travel, social, payment, and more. Pick one and it lands in the Studio's preview instantly. Icons save with your codes and ride along on dynamic links.
How big should I print a QR code with a logo?
At least 2 cm (about an inch) square for close-range scanning, larger for posters. Keep strong contrast between the code and its background, leave a quiet margin around it, and always test the final printed size with a real phone before a big print run.
Does the logo work on dynamic QR codes too?
Yes. Dynamic links support the same styling as static codes, logo included. Sign in, open the free Studio, choose Dynamic code, and style it the same way; the free plan includes 3 dynamic links.
