Colored QR codes replace the standard black-and-white palette with custom foreground and background colors. They attract more attention, reinforce brand identity, and integrate smoothly with design systems. Our tool lets you choose any color combination as long as sufficient contrast is maintained for reliable scanning.
Enter your content, then use the foreground color picker to set the module color and the background picker to set the base. For reliable scanning, choose dark foregrounds on light backgrounds: navy blue on white, dark green on cream, burgundy on light gray, and so on. Avoid low-contrast combinations like yellow on white or light gray on white. Preview updates in real-time. Download in PNG, JPG, SVG, or EPS.
