FAQ
Questions people actually ask
Short answers about cost, dynamic codes, printing and privacy. If yours is not here, write to us.
General
What is the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?
A static code encodes the destination directly, so it can never be edited or tracked. A dynamic code encodes a short link on this site, which means you can change where it points after printing and see scan analytics.
Can I put my logo in the middle of a QR code?
Yes, in the studio under "Logo in the centre". When you add a logo we automatically raise error correction to High so the code still scans with part of it covered. Keep the logo under about a third of the width.
Which file format should I use for printing?
Use SVG or EPS for anything going to a printer, since both are vector and stay sharp at any size. PNG is right for screens and documents. PDF gives you a ready-to-print sheet with a caption.
How many QR codes can I generate at once?
Up to 5,000 per bulk job from a CSV file, and you can run as many jobs as you need. Generation happens in your browser, so large jobs do not queue behind other users.
Pricing
Is QRScanner.in really free?
Yes. Every feature — generation, styling, logos, scanning, analytics, bulk export and the API — is free with no plan to upgrade to. The platform is funded by advertising, commercial API quotas and the custom software work Anjok Technologies sells around it.
Do my QR codes expire?
No. Static codes carry their content in the artwork itself and work forever, even if this site disappears. Dynamic codes keep working as long as your account is active, and we do not delete codes belonging to active accounts.
Can I use these QR codes commercially?
Yes. Codes you generate are yours. Print them on packaging, menus and products, or sell items carrying them. No attribution is required.
Privacy
Do you track the people who scan my codes?
Not as individuals. We record the device type, operating system, browser, language and coarse location. We never store IP addresses, and unique scanners are counted with a hash that changes every day, so nobody can be followed over time.
Is my data sold to anyone?
No. Scan analytics belong to you and are never sold or shared. You can export everything you own as CSV, or delete it, from your account page.
Scanning
Does the scanner work without installing an app?
Yes. It runs in your browser. Camera scanning needs an HTTPS connection, which browsers require before granting camera access. You can also upload, drag or paste an image on any connection.
