Styled QR Code

Branded QR codes with your avatar in the center.

Design eye-catching QR codes for social media: drop your profile picture, logo or a cartoon / anime avatar into the center, pick a platform preset (Instagram, X, WhatsApp, TikTok…) or build a custom gradient, and choose rounded dot & corner styles. Download a crisp PNG or SVG. 100% in-browser.

How to use Styled QR Code

  1. Pick a design

    Start the free online styled QR code generator by choosing a social-ready template like a Snapchat Snapcode, Instagram nametag or WhatsApp card.

  2. Add your link

    Paste your Instagram, WhatsApp or any profile URL and an optional caption such as your handle, so the custom QR code matches your brand.

  3. Drop a center image

    Upload a profile picture, logo or cartoon avatar into the middle instantly, just like a Snapcode, and choose a round or square crop.

  4. Customize the style

    Open Customize to tweak card colours, dot colour, dot and corner shapes, caption font and roundness for a fully branded, designer QR code.

  5. Scan-test it

    Check the live preview with your phone to make sure the styled QR code scans reliably before you keep strong contrast and a moderate avatar size.

  6. Download the card

    Save the finished design as a high-resolution PNG card for social media, or export the QR only as a crisp SVG for print.

Frequently asked questions

What is a styled QR code and how is it different from a normal one?

A styled QR code keeps the same scannable data but adds custom colours, rounded dots, a branded card frame and a centre logo or avatar. This styled QR code generator turns a plain black-and-white code into a social-ready design like a Snapchat Snapcode, Instagram nametag or WhatsApp card.

How do I create a custom QR code with my logo in the middle?

Paste your link, pick a design template, then use Center image to drop in your profile picture, logo or cartoon/anime avatar. The QR uses high error correction so it still scans with an image in the middle — keep the avatar size moderate for the best results.

Can I make a QR code for my Instagram, WhatsApp or social profile?

Yes. Enter your Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, TikTok or any profile/link, choose a matching frame and caption like @yourname or SCAN ME, and download a branded social QR card to share in your bio, story or print.

How do I download my styled QR code as PNG or SVG?

Use Card PNG to save the full designed card exactly as shown in the preview, or QR only (SVG) to export a clean vector code with no frame. PNG is best for sharing on social media; SVG is ideal for print and resizing without quality loss.

Will a colourful or designer QR code still scan reliably?

It will as long as there's enough contrast between the dots and the background and the centre logo isn't too large. Always scan-test the code with a phone before sharing — low contrast or an oversized avatar are the usual reasons a custom QR code won't scan.

Is this QR code generator free, and do the codes expire?

Creating and downloading styled QR codes is free, and the codes are static, so they never expire and have no scan limits. They point directly to your link with no redirect, so they keep working for as long as that link is live.

Can I change the colours, dot shapes and corners of my QR code?

Yes. Open Customize to set card colours and gradients, dot colour, dot and corner shapes, caption font and size, and card roundness. These options let you match the QR code to your brand or social theme.
