# QR Code Designs & Theme Gallery Source: https://ezqr.ca/qr-code-gallery Last modified: 2026-09-29 Description: Browse cool QR code designs: stylized gradients, heart and star shapes, framed styles, and branded looks for Instagram, Spotify and more. Every design is a real, free, scannable QR code - pick one and make it yours. Browse our full library of free QR code themes - ready-to-use QR code design templates you can make your own. Every theme is a real, scannable QR code: branded QR code designs for the platforms people recognise, plus dozens of gradient, colour, and framed QR code styles. ## How to use the gallery 1. **Browse the themes below.** Every tile is a live static QR code - the branded ones carry a centre logo and brand colours, the style themes are logo-free colour and shape combinations. 2. **Pick a look you like.** Note the theme name, then head to the [custom QR code generator](https://ezqr.ca/custom-qr-code). 3. **Start from that theme.** Choose it from the "Start from a theme" menu, and its colours, shapes, and logo apply instantly. 4. **Swap in your own link and download.** Replace the sample URL with your destination and export as PNG, JPG, or SVG - free, no watermark. ## Cool, Creative & Aesthetic QR Code Designs Looking for **stylized QR codes** that don't look like the default black square? Every design in this gallery is a working code, grouped by the kind of look you're after: - **Aesthetic QR codes** - soft gradients, tinted paper backgrounds, and muted solid tones that sit nicely on invitations, menus, and packaging. - **Decorative QR codes** - shape codes whose outline is a heart, circle, star, or house instead of a square. Cute on a wedding card, eye-catching on a poster. - **Creative QR code designs** - two-tone corner eyes, rounded or dotted modules, and framed looks with a caption, for a code that reads as part of the design. - **Branded QR code designs** - platform colours with the logo in the centre, so people know where a scan goes before they point their camera. Any of these unique QR code designs is a starting point, not a template you are stuck with - open it in the generator and change the colours, shapes, or logo until it's yours. You don't need a QR code designer for that: it takes a minute, and the preview shows you whether it still scans. Want a photo woven into the code instead? Try the [picture QR code generator](https://ezqr.ca/picture-qr-code), or see [custom shape QR codes](https://ezqr.ca/custom-shape-qr-codes) for more silhouettes. ## Branded vs. style themes **Branded themes** match a specific platform - Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Spotify, the mapping apps, and more. They set the brand's colours and drop the recognisable logo into the centre of the code, so a scanner instantly signals where the link goes. **Style themes** carry no logo. They are curated colour and shape recipes - warm and cool gradients, deep solid tones, two-tone corner eyes, soft tinted paper backgrounds, and clean framed looks - for when you want a distinctive code that isn't tied to any one brand. ## Keeping a themed QR code scannable Good design and reliable scanning aren't at odds - every theme here is tuned to stay readable. A few habits keep it that way once you customise: - Keep strong contrast - dark modules on a light background is the safe pattern. - Use the highest error-correction level whenever the code has a centre logo. - Keep any logo at roughly 30% of the code or smaller. - Print at about 2 cm (0.8 in) or larger for posters and signage. - Test-scan with both an iPhone and an Android before printing in bulk. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the QR code theme gallery? It is a showcase of every built-in QR code design EZQR ships with - branded looks for platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Spotify, plus dozens of logo-free style themes with gradients, solid colours, two-tone corner eyes, tinted backgrounds, and frames. Each sample is a real, working static QR code so you can see exactly how a theme scans and looks before you build your own. ### Are these QR codes free to use? Yes. Static QR codes are free forever on EZQR - no watermarks, no expiry, no account required. Open the custom QR code generator, pick any theme from this gallery as a starting point, drop in your own link, and download it as PNG, JPG, or SVG. ### Where do the sample QR codes point? Every sample in the gallery encodes the EZQR home page with a unique tracking tag, so each code is genuinely distinct. When you make your own, you replace that with any link you like - a website, a Google Maps pin, a PDF, a social profile, and so on. ### Will a themed QR code still scan reliably? Yes. Every theme keeps the modules dark enough against a light background to stay high-contrast, and branded themes use the highest error-correction level so the centre logo does not interfere with scanning. As always, print at about 2 cm or larger and test-scan with a couple of phones before printing in bulk. ### Can I change the colours and shapes after picking a theme? Absolutely. A theme is just a starting point. In the custom generator you can adjust the colours, gradient, dot and corner shapes, background, border, and caption - everything stays fully editable after you apply a theme. ### Quick Tips - Every theme stays fully editable after you apply it - Use "H" error correction with a centre logo - SVG downloads scale without losing quality - Static QR codes are free forever - no watermark, no expiry --- EZQR: static QR codes are free forever; dynamic QR codes (editable destination, scan analytics) require a plan.
