Introducing QR Profiles: Secure, Customizable, and On-Brand QRs

For years, Qryptal’s Secure Code system has focused on the classic black-on-white QR—the most reliable and widely compatible format for critical use cases. Today, we’re excited to take the next step with the launch of QR Profiles, giving you the power to combine security with brand expression.

🎨 What Are QR Profiles?

QR Profiles let you define and save named styles for your QR codes—making it easy to generate codes that reflect your brand’s identity while ensuring they remain secure and scannable.

A profile can include:

• Foreground and background colors (with RGBA support)
• A small logo or image in the center
• QR size
• Error correction level

These profiles are reusable across all Qryptal services—whether through API-driven workflows or manual generation. The functionality is already available to all our cloud customers, and will soon be rolled out to on-premise deployments via a software update.

Manage and organize all your QR Profiles in one place.

⚡ Simple and Powerful Interface

Creating a QR Profile is intuitive. Just name your profile, pick colors, upload your logo, and choose size and error correction.

Design profiles with brand colors and logos.

You can even preview the code instantly before saving:

Preview and scan to confirm readability before finalizing.

🚀 High-Performance at Scale

Behind the scenes, we’ve implemented a high-performance caching system for QR Profiles. This ensures that even with customization, QR generation stays secure, fast, and efficient.

🌟 Real-World Design Possibilities

With QR Profiles, you can go beyond black and white while still maintaining reliability:

Examples: Classic black-on-white, reverse, transparent, brand-colored, and logo-centered QRs.

✅ Best Practices for Readability

While design flexibility is exciting, here are some key guidelines to ensure scannability:

• Black on white with a small logo remains the most reliable choice
• For optimal visibility, use a PNG logo with transparent background and a defined outline
• Ensure strong contrast between foreground and background
• Keep logos small; for larger logos, increase QR size and error correction level

🔒 The Bottom Line

With QR Profiles, you don’t have to choose between security and brand identity. You can now deliver QRs that are both trusted and on-brand, tailored for your workflows and customers.

Existing customers can contact Qryptal Support for any assistance.
