Barcode with Logo (QR Code)

Step 2 Add The Logo

Open the barcode picture in your image editor.

I found it easiest to make it so that each square in the barcode represented a single pixel, to do this I reduced the picture to 25% scale.

Best to do a “save as” at this point as you don’t want to accidentally write over the original barcode as you may need it again if you make a mistake.

Draw your logo, keep it small or it will cover too much of the barcode. If you cover too much of the barcode the error correction will not be enough to allow the barcode to be read. I found it easiest to draw the logo to the side of the barcode and paste it on top when done.

Test it the barcode can still be read, I used the Barcode Scanner Android app by ZXing.

Some image editors will make the barcode fuzzy when you try to enlarge the barcode. To get around this problem you can zoom in on the picture and then take a print screen.

Done
