Iron Barcode allows a developer to create QR codes with more options than they do for creating normal barcodes. For example, we can set QR error correction levels, we can color QR codes, and we can also add logos.
If a logo is added to a QR code, it is automatically resized to an appropriate dimension where the QR can still be read and then snapped to grid so that it is aligned perfectly with the black-and-white squares on the QR image.
