Change colors, add logos and customize QR Codes.
Customizing your QR Code helps reinforce your brand identity while making your QR Code more attractive and engaging. SPRL provides a range of QR Code design options that allow you to personalise the appearance of your QR Codes while keeping readability and scanning reliability in mind.
With the updated QR Code customization experience, you can configure the QR pattern, QR eyes, colours, gradients, branding, labels, output format, size, and advanced QR settings. Your saved preferences are automatically applied when you generate new QR Codes.
SPRL supports QR Code generation for both visitors and account holders. Some customization features depend on your account status.
| User Type | QR Code Generation | Saved Customization Settings | Brand Logo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guest | Yes | Not available as account preferences | Not available |
| Logged-in Free Account | Yes | Available after QR customization is activated | Available after activation |
| Paid / Activated Account | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Guest users can generate QR Codes without creating an account. However, account-based customization preferences require an SPRL account, and QR customization must be activated for the account before the settings can be saved.
Guest QR Codes do not have saved account-level customization preferences. Creating an SPRL account allows you to manage your QR Codes and use account-based features.

The QR pattern controls the appearance of the main modules that make up your QR Code.
| Pattern | Description |
|---|---|
| Square | Traditional square QR Code modules with a familiar appearance. |
| Dot | Rounded dot-style modules for a softer and more modern appearance. |
| Round | Rounded QR Code modules that provide a less traditional visual style. |
Choose a pattern that matches your design while maintaining sufficient contrast and clear module definition.
QR Eyes are the three large finder markers located in the corners of a QR Code. SPRL allows you to customise their appearance without changing their purpose.
| Eye Style | Description |
|---|---|
| Square | Traditional square finder markers. |
| Circle | Circular finder markers for a more modern appearance. |
SPRL allows you to use either a solid QR Code colour or a gradient design.
| Colour Style | Description |
|---|---|
| Solid | Uses a single foreground colour throughout the QR Code. |
| Gradient | Applies a colour gradient to the QR Code pattern. |
You can separately select the pattern colour and background colour. When using gradients, make sure the resulting QR Code still has enough contrast against its background.
Colour plays an important role in QR Code readability. Although SPRL provides flexible colour customization, the QR Code should always remain easy for scanners to detect.
| Recommended | Avoid |
|---|---|
| Dark pattern on a light background | Light pattern on a white background |
| Strong colour contrast | Low-contrast colour combinations |
| Gradients with clearly distinguishable colours | Gradients that fade into the background |
| Simple backgrounds | Busy backgrounds behind the QR Code |
Adding a brand logo can help reinforce your visual identity and make your QR Code easier for users to associate with your business.
Logo customization is available for accounts with QR customization activated.

For the best results:
SPRL allows you to add a label below your QR Code. Labels can provide additional context and encourage users to scan the code.
| Label Type | Description |
|---|---|
| None | No label is added below the QR Code. |
| Custom | Add your own text below the QR Code. |
| URL Title | Use the URL title as the QR Code label. |
| Short Link | Display the SPRL short link as the QR Code label. |
Custom labels also allow you to configure the label text colour and font size.
The QR Code size should be selected according to where the QR Code will be displayed.
| Use Case | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Website or Email | A standard QR Code size is generally sufficient. |
| Social Media | Use an appropriate resolution that remains clear after resizing or compression. |
| Flyers & Brochures | Use a larger output size for better print clarity. |
| Posters & Banners | Use a high-resolution QR Code appropriate for the final print size. |
SPRL provides supported QR Code output formats for different use cases.
| Format | Best For |
|---|---|
| PNG | Websites, social media, documents, and general-purpose use. |
| SVG | Scalable graphics and situations where the QR Code needs to remain sharp at different sizes. |
Advanced settings allow you to fine-tune the spacing and reliability of your QR Code.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| QR Margin | Controls the amount of space around the QR Code. |
| Error Correction | Controls how much damaged or obscured QR Code data can potentially be recovered by scanners. |
A suitable margin helps separate the QR Code from surrounding content, while higher error correction can provide additional resilience when using logos or customized designs.
