Custom & Branded QR Code Generator
MultipleQR makes plain, high-contrast QR codes in bulk. Your brand goes around them: in the URL they open, the label they sit on and the call to action next to them.
Straight answer first
What MultipleQR does, and what it leaves to your design tool
Many "custom QR" tools restyle the code itself. MultipleQR does not. It produces the plain code, fast and in bulk, and you brand everything around it. For most print jobs that is the more reliable approach.
MultipleQR does
- ✓ Generates standard black-on-white QR codes from any text or URL
- ✓ One code per line, or from a TXT/CSV file, with no limit and no signup
- ✓ 300 × 300 px PNG per code, downloaded one by one or as a ZIP
- ✓ Runs in your browser; a Share link can reopen the same list
MultipleQR does not
- ✕ Add logos, icons or images inside the code
- ✕ Change module colors, shapes or eye styles
- ✕ Add frames, borders or text around the code
- ✕ Export SVG or PDF, or track scans with dynamic codes
Brand the destination
A branded URL is the part of the QR code people trust
When a phone scans a code, the first thing it shows is the address. A link on your own domain looks expected; a random redirect domain looks like a risk. Set up short paths on your site or a subdomain such as go.yourbrand.com, and generate the codes from those.
Sample input: branded short links, one per line
https://go.yourbrand.com/menu
https://go.yourbrand.com/warranty
https://go.yourbrand.com/store-guadalajara
https://go.yourbrand.com/store-lima
https://yourbrand.com/p/1180
https://yourbrand.com/p/1181Shorter URL, cleaner code
Fewer characters mean fewer, larger modules, so the code scans at smaller sizes and looks less busy on your label.
You keep control
The code is static, but the redirect behind your short path is yours. Point it somewhere new later without reprinting.
Less room for fakes
Customers who always see your domain notice when a sticker sends them somewhere else. More in our guide to QR phishing.
Brand the label
Drop the plain code into your own branded template
Design the card, sticker, hang tag or table tent once, with your logo, typeface, colors and a call to action. Leave a white square for the code. Then fill it from the ZIP: files are named qr-1.png, qr-2.png and so on in the order of your list, which makes them easy to map to a spreadsheet of records.
Canva
Design a card, sticker or table tent once with your logo, colors and a blank square for the code. For a handful of codes, drag each PNG into a copy of the page. For larger batches, check whether the bulk-create option on your plan accepts image fields.
Figma
Build the label as a component with a fixed-size image layer for the code. Duplicate it per code and swap the image fill, or use a community data plugin that fills images from a list of files.
Microsoft Word mail merge
Label sheets and badges can pull a different image per record with a nested INCLUDEPICTURE and MERGEFIELD field pointing to qr-1.png, qr-2.png and so on. It works, but it is fiddly; test with three records before merging three hundred.
InDesign Data Merge
Add a column whose header starts with @ (for example @qr) containing the path to each PNG. Data Merge places one code per record inside your branded frame, which is the smoothest option for large print runs.
Design rules
Why plain black-on-white scans best, and how to frame it
A phone camera finds a QR code by its contrast and its three corner squares. Every styling choice that lowers contrast, rounds the modules or covers part of the pattern makes that job harder. Keep the code plain and let the surrounding design carry the brand.
Respect the quiet zone
The standard asks for four modules of blank space on every side, and each PNG already includes it. Do not crop it; your frame, text and logo belong outside that margin, never touching the pattern.
Dark on light, never inverted
Black modules on a white panel read everywhere. Light codes on dark backgrounds fail in some scanner apps, and low-contrast brand tints fail in poor light.
Put the brand in the frame
A colored border, a tab with your logo or a branded panel behind the white square gives the code your identity without touching what the camera reads.
Always add a call to action
"Scan to see the menu" or "Scan to register your warranty" earns more scans than a bare code, and tells people the link is expected and safe.
Size for the distance
Close-range labels can be small; signs read across a room need a much larger code. Test a printed proof at the real distance before approving.
Print the URL as a fallback
A short branded URL under the code helps people who cannot scan and reassures people who want to see where they are going before they tap.

Workflow
On-brand QR labels in 3 steps
01
Set up branded links
Create short paths on your domain for each product, store or campaign, and check that every one opens the right page on a phone.
02
Generate the plain codes
Paste the links above, one per line, and download the ZIP. Keep the list in the same order as the spreadsheet that feeds your template.
03
Merge into your design
Place each PNG in the white square of your branded template, with the quiet zone intact and a call to action beside it. Print a proof and scan it.

Common questions
Branded QR codes — FAQ
Can I add my logo to the QR codes?
No. MultipleQR does not place logos inside QR codes. It generates standard black-on-white codes. The recommended way to show your brand is to put the logo next to the code, on the label, card or frame that holds it, where it does not cover any modules.
Can I change the QR code colors to match my brand palette?
No. Every code is black on white. That is deliberate: maximum contrast is what makes a code scan quickly on older phones, in dim rooms and from a distance. Use your brand colors in the frame, background panel and call to action around the white square instead.
So what is actually "branded" about these QR codes?
The parts people remember: the destination URL on your own domain, the branded label or template the code is printed on, and the call to action that tells people what they will get. MultipleQR handles the bulk generation of the code itself; your design tool handles the look.
Which file format do I get, and is there SVG or PDF?
Each code downloads as a 300 × 300 px PNG, individually or all together in a ZIP. There is no SVG or PDF export. For larger prints, scale the PNG up in your design tool with image smoothing turned off; because QR modules are squares, the enlarged code keeps sharp edges.
Can I use a branded short link like go.mybrand.com?
Yes. MultipleQR encodes whatever text you give it, so a short link on your own domain works like any other URL. Short links make simpler, easier-to-scan codes, and because you control the redirect, you can change where the link goes later without reprinting.
How much empty space does a QR code need around it?
The QR code standard asks for a quiet zone of at least four modules (the small squares) on every side. Each PNG from MultipleQR already includes that four-module white border, so you do not need to add more. Just do not crop it, and keep text, borders and frame edges outside it.
Is it safe to place my logo over the center of the code myself?
We do not recommend it. Covering modules uses up the code's built-in error correction, which is also what lets it survive scratches, glare and low print quality. If you do experiment, test every code on several phones before printing, and keep the logo in the frame rather than on the pattern.
Can I print the code on a colored or dark background?
Place it on a white or very light panel that is larger than the code plus its quiet zone. Printing black modules directly on a mid-tone brand color reduces contrast, and inverted codes (light on dark) are not read by every scanner app.
