Sreng Pagna Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Hi guy Are there any ways to put the logo in the middle of the QR code and make the QR still work, like in the picture? Thank you. Quote 2D Cutout animator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 For instance https://www.qrcode-monkey.com In Affinity you can try different logo sizes/positions (don't cover the 3 squares in the corners) and trust the error correction that is performed when reading the code. There are 4 levels of error correction capability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code#Error_correction Quote The number of data versus error correction bytes within each block depends on (i) the version (side length) of the QR symbol and (ii) the error correction level, of which there are four. The higher the error correction level, the less storage capacity. The following table lists the approximate error correction capability at each of the four levels: Level L (Low) 7% of data bytes can be restored. Level M (Medium) 15% of data bytes can be restored. Level Q (Quartile)[79] 25% of data bytes can be restored. Level H (High) 30% of data bytes can be restored.

Do you mean I should lower the opacity of the logo? Quote 2D Cutout animator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, reduced opacity would make both less readable, the logo + its underlaying qr-code pixels. I rather mean just placing a logo on the qr-code, for instance on 3 copies of the code + 3 different logo sizes, then test the three qr-code designs in a realistic display size to see which one works best work (e.g. shot with a smart phone).

Thank you very much, I'll try it out. Quote 2D Cutout animator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
