Description: Upload a QR code with a logo in the middle and get the same code back without it - same link, plain black and white, PNG or SVG. Or swap in your own logo. Free, in your browser.

Got a QR code with someone else's logo in the middle? Upload it and get the same QR code back without the logo - same link, plain and print-ready. Or put your own logo in instead. Free, and your image never leaves your device.

**To remove a logo from a QR code, upload the code above.** EZQR reads the link inside it and rebuilds the same code without the logo in the middle - same link, same error correction, same grid size - so you can download a plain QR code as PNG, SVG, or JPG.

## A QR Code Without the Logo in the Middle

A logo isn't part of a QR code's link - it's drawn on top, and the code still scans because QR codes carry error correction that fills in what the logo covers. That means the logo can come off without changing where the code goes. The tool reads the code, ignores the logo, and gives you a fresh QR code without the logo that holds exactly the same thing.

Some logos people most often want gone:

- **Chrome's dinosaur** - added to every code from Chrome's built-in generator. See [how to remove the dinosaur from a QR code](https://ezqr.ca/remove-dinosaur-from-qr-code).
- **The Bing logo** - added by Microsoft Edge and Bing's QR code generator. See [how to remove the Bing logo from a QR code](https://ezqr.ca/remove-bing-logo-from-qr-code).
- **An old brand or event logo** - a rebrand, a past sponsor, or a code made for someone else that you now want to use plainly.

## How to Remove a Logo From a QR Code

1. **Upload the QR code.** A downloaded PNG works best; a screenshot or a photo of a printed code works too.
2. **EZQR reads the link.** The tool decodes the code and shows you exactly where it points, so you can check it's right before you print.
3. **Download the clean code.** You get the same QR code without the logo. Download it as PNG, as [SVG](https://ezqr.ca/vector-qr-code) for print, or as JPG.

## Make a QR Code Black and White, With No Frame

The clean copy isn't only logo-free. It comes back as a standard black-and-white QR code with square modules on a white background, so the same upload also handles:

- **Make a QR code black and white** - from a coloured or gradient code.
- **Remove the frame or the "Scan me" text** around a QR code.
- **Turn a dotted or rounded QR code back into squares.**
- **Remove an emoji or icon** from the middle of a QR code.

For a transparent background instead of white, choose *Customize this QR code* after it reads - the link carries over and the [custom QR code generator](https://ezqr.ca/custom-qr-code) has a transparent background option.

## Replace the Logo With Your Own

Want a logo in the middle - just yours, not theirs? Upload the code, then choose *Customize this QR code*. The link carries over to the custom generator, where you can [add your own logo to the QR code](https://ezqr.ca/qr-code-with-logo), pick your colours, or change the shape. That's how to add your logo to an existing QR code without changing where it goes - and it's still a free static code.

### Tips

- A downloaded PNG reads most reliably
- Photos of printed codes work too
- Check the decoded link before you print
- Download SVG for sharp printing at any size
- Print at 2cm x 2cm or larger

## Remove Logo From QR Code FAQ

## How do I remove a logo from a QR code?

Upload the QR code to the tool on this page - a PNG, a screenshot, or a photo. EZQR reads the link inside it and gives you the same QR code back without the logo in the middle, ready to download as PNG, SVG, or JPG. It takes a few seconds and runs in your browser.

## Can I get a QR code without the logo in the middle?

Yes. Whatever the logo is - an app's icon, a brand mark, or decoration a generator added - upload the code here and download a plain QR code without the logo in the middle. The new code holds the same link and is rebuilt at the same error-correction level and grid size, so it scans to the same place.

## Will the QR code still work after the logo is removed?

Yes, and usually better. A logo covers part of the code, and the code only scans because error correction fills in what the logo hides. Removing it gives that safety margin back for scuffs, glare, and small prints. Codes you already printed with the logo keep working too.

## How do I make a QR code black and white?

Upload the coloured or styled code here. The clean copy is a standard black-and-white QR code with square modules and a white background - no colours, no frame, no "Scan me" text, no dotted or rounded shapes - holding the same link as the original.

## Can I replace the logo on a QR code with my own?

Yes. Upload the code, and once it reads choose "Customize this QR code". The link carries over to the EZQR custom generator, where you can add your own logo in the middle, pick colours, or make the background transparent - and download it as a free static code.

## Can I remove the logo from a QR code without the original image?

You need some picture of the code - a photo of a printed one works. If you have no image at all but know the link, skip this step and paste the link into the free generator on the EZQR home page for a plain code from scratch.

## Is removing a logo from a QR code free?

Yes. The clean copy is a static QR code, and static QR codes on EZQR are free forever - no watermark, no expiry, and no account needed.
