Restyle an existing QR code
Upload a QR code to read its content, then recreate it with your own colors, shapes and logo. Great for dated codes and lost source files.
Your old QR code
The code is read in your browser — the image is never uploaded.
Design
Give an old QR code a new look
Lost the original file, or want your colors and logo on a code that already exists? Upload it and rebuild it.
Upload the old code
A screenshot or photo works, as long as the whole code and its border are visible.
Restyle it
Pick new colors, dot shapes, corners and your own logo.
Download PNG or SVG
You get a crisp 2048px PNG or a vector SVG with no watermark.
When to restyle an existing QR code
Restyling is useful when you've lost the original file, want to match new branding, or need an SVG for a larger print. The tool reads the content of your old code and lets you recreate it with your own colours, shapes and logo.
It can't change a code's destination: the link is part of the pattern. If the old code uses a short redirect link from a QR service, the new one will too, unless you replace it with the real address.
Before you replace a code
- Upload the sharpest image you have, with the whole code and its border.
- Check the decoded content before downloading.
- Scan the new code and the old code to compare results.
- Replace old printed codes only after the new one passes your tests.
Questions, answered
Can I change where an old QR code points?
Not the printed one: its link is part of the pattern. But you can read the link here, edit it and make a new code that points elsewhere. You then have to replace the old code wherever it is printed.
Will the new code work the same as the old one?
Yes, if the content is unchanged. A restyled code carries the same link, so it opens the same page. Always scan the new code before printing.
What if the old code came from a QR service with a short link?
A short redirect link keeps working only as long as that service keeps it alive. Rebuilding it here gives you a new look, but the link inside is still the short redirect. If you know the real destination, paste it above instead.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The image is decoded in your browser and never leaves your device.
Why can't it find my QR code?
Usually the image is too small or blurry, the code is cropped, or there is no blank border. Try a higher-resolution picture, crop closer, and make sure the whole code is visible.
