GHL QR Code Design: Cleaner Look, Less Padding

GHL just cleaned up the way logos sit inside your QR codes.

They’ve reduced the empty space around them, so now your codes look sharper and more balanced, no weird gaps, no awkward floating.

Whether you’re printing them on a product or a flyer, they blend in better with your brand. And yep, it’s already done.

This isn’t a feature you need to activate or configure, GoHighLevel rolled it out across the board.

Every single QR code generated on the platform, past or present, now uses the updated logo padding rules. That means even if you created a QR code six months ago, it’ll now display with the cleaner design the next time it’s rendered or downloaded.

Nothing’s changed under the hood, your QR codes still scan perfectly and work like they always have. They just look cleaner now.

Nothing about your workflow changes, except now your stuff just looks more put together.

People notice the little things, especially in marketing. That’s why even a small tweak like this QR code update can make a real difference.

Your QR code is more than a link, it’s often the first branded thing a potential lead sees. If your logo’s floating with too much space around it, it looks off. The new design change solves that by pulling everything together more smoothly.

It’s especially helpful for agencies using white-label GHL features. Whether you’re selling QR code access as part of a funnel package or embedding them into client materials, you can now deliver something that looks as premium as it performs.

You don’t have to redo anything. The update is already applied to all your QR codes, past and future.

This is design done right: subtle, seamless, and smart.

The extra space around QR code logos has been trimmed down for a tighter, more professional layout. This update is live across all codes, old and new. Here’s how to create one in seconds:

1.1 From your GHL home screen, find and click “Sites” in the menu.
1.2 Choose whether you want to work inside Funnels or Websites.

2.1 Select a specific funnel step or web page.
2.2 Click “Edit Page” to launch the drag-and-drop builder.

3.1 Use the builder tools to place the QR Code on your page wherever it fits best.
3.2 Enter the URL it should link to, anything from a product to a scheduling page.

4.1 In the QR code settings, upload your logo.
4.2 The updated padding will automatically apply, giving your logo a tighter, cleaner fit.

5.1 Click Save to keep the changes.
5.2 You can also download the QR code for use in print or offline materials, logo padding included.

That’s it. Your QR codes are now cleaner and sharper by default, no hacks, no workarounds, just better design built right into GHL.

The new layout opens up better branding opportunities, here’s how to take full advantage.

Use QR Codes in High-Visibility Spots
Stick them on anything printed, menus, direct mail, product boxes, posters. The updated layout helps your codes blend in better, even when you’re working with limited room.

Leverage Branding Consistency
Upload your agency or client logo into each QR code so it matches your overall look and feel. With the reduced padding, it now feels integrated, not just floating in a box.

Pair with a Call to Action
Don’t just drop a code, add text nearby that tells people exactly what to do:
“Scan to Book,” “Get 10% Off,” or “View Menu.” A clear CTA next to a crisp QR code gets more scans.

Download in High Resolution
If you’re putting QR codes on posters, signs, or anything big, download them in SVG or PNG to keep the quality clean and clear.

Combine with Dynamic URLs or UTM Tracking
Want to measure performance? Use a UTM-tagged link with your QR Code Design so GHL’s reporting shows you what’s working.

With these tips, you’re not just using QR Code Design, you’re turning them into conversion tools that look the part.

Not every improvement needs to be big to matter. This one boosts your brand’s look behind the scenes, with no effort required from you.

When you’re working with clients, especially in a white-label setup, they expect things to look top-tier. This update helps you deliver that, no matter where your QR Code Design show up.

The reduced logo padding gives your marketing materials a sharper edge, literally and visually. And since it applies to both new and existing codes, it’s a no-effort win that upgrades your entire library of assets.

Your competitors won’t notice what changed. Your clients will just think everything you touch looks polished and pro.That’s the kind of “invisible improvement” that builds trust and keeps clients coming back.

You didn’t have to ask for it. You didn’t have to enable it. But now it’s here, your QR Code Design are cleaner, crisper, and more polished than ever.

This small update to QR code design may not make headlines, but it does make your materials look more premium. And in a world where design speaks volumes, that matters.

Whether you’re generating codes for lead capture, event check-ins, printed menus, or packaging, GHL’s got your back with better-looking QR Code Design out of the box.

So go ahead, scan one. It just feels sharper.
