Frequently Asked Questions

No. All QR codes created on QRnaly conform to the ISO/IEC 18004 international QR code standard. They can be scanned directly by the default camera app on modern Apple iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android smartphones.

Select your required content type (Website URL, WhatsApp, Wi-Fi, vCard, PDF, or Social Profile) on the generator, enter your details, customize colors and corner styles, and download your high-resolution PNG or vector SVG file immediately.

In a Static QR code, your destination URL or data payload is encoded directly into the pixel pattern. It works permanently offline and never expires, but cannot be changed once printed and does not track scan counts. In a Dynamic QR code, the pattern encodes a shortlink (qrnaly.com/q/slug) that redirects to your target URL. This lets you edit the destination link at any time without reprinting and provides detailed real-time scan analytics.

Yes! That is the primary superpower of dynamic QR codes. If your landing page URL changes, a restaurant menu is updated, or a seasonal campaign rotates, simply log in to your QRnaly dashboard and update the destination URL. All printed physical codes will immediately redirect to the new URL.

No. Static QR codes have no expiration date and do not rely on QRnaly redirect servers. As long as the target website, Wi-Fi network, or vCard details remain functional, the static QR code will scan indefinitely.

QRnaly tracks total scan volume, unique scans, time-of-day and day-of-week trends, device operating system breakdown (iOS, Android, Windows, macOS), browser user agents, and geographic location distribution by country and city.

QRnaly prioritizes scanner privacy. We do not track or store personal identifiers, device GPS coordinates, or tracking cookies of individual end-users who scan your codes. IP addresses are irreversibly hashed using rotating cryptographic salts to limit data retention, and all geographic telemetry is aggregated at the city/region level.

Yes. In QR Studio, you can use our built-in UTM builder to specify utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, and utm_content parameters so scan traffic maps seamlessly into Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Mixpanel, or Adobe Analytics.

Always download the Vector SVG format for physical print campaigns (billboards, packaging, signage, flyers, brochures, and standees). Unlike pixel images, vector SVGs can be scaled to any size without blur, edge softening, or loss of camera scanability.

Follow the 10:1 distance-to-size formula: QR Code Width = Scanning Distance ÷ 10. For example, if customers will scan your table tent from 50 cm away, the QR code should be at least 5 cm × 5 cm. For billboards viewed from 10 meters away, the QR code must be at least 1 meter wide.

The Quiet Zone is the clear, margin border surrounding the outer edges of the QR matrix (minimum 4 blocks width). Keeping this border clean and free of illustrations, text, or textured backgrounds allows camera algorithms to locate the finder patterns accurately.

Free accounts include 1 trial Dynamic QR (active for 14 days), 1 Digital Catalogue, 10MB of storage, and unlimited permanent Static QRs. Pro (₹399/mo) includes 50 Dynamic QRs, 3 Digital Catalogues, 1GB storage, 100 dynamic destination updates/month, 100 lead form responses, and vector SVG/PDF exports. Business (₹999/mo) includes 500 Dynamic QRs, 15 Digital Catalogues, 10GB storage, 1,000 updates/month, 2,500 lead form captures, and 5 team member seats.

Static QR codes continue working forever without a subscription. For Dynamic QR codes, active routing continues throughout your paid subscription and an automatic 14-day post-expiration grace period (CANONICAL_GRACE_PERIOD_DAYS = 14). If an account remains unpaid after 14 days, dynamic routing is paused until renewed. Your QR configurations, analytics, and hosted assets are safely retained for 90 days following suspension, allowing instant reactivation upon plan renewal.

Yes! QRnaly provides a dedicated Digital Menu and Catalogue builder with specialized templates for Restaurants & Cafés, Bakeries, Retail Products, Professional Services, and Real Estate Properties. You can organize items by sections/categories, add photos, dietary tags (Veg/Vegan/Halal/Gluten-Free), spice levels, item variants (e.g., Size, Portions), and optional add-ons.

Yes. By enabling WhatsApp Ordering in your catalogue settings and specifying your business phone number with international country code, customers can add items to their mobile cart and tap "Send Order via WhatsApp". A pre-formatted order summary including quantities, selected variants, add-ons, and calculated totals is automatically generated and sent to your WhatsApp.

QRnaly incorporates safe recovery workflows. Deleted QR codes are moved to your Dashboard Trash where you can restore them with 1 click, preserving their original slug, short link, and scan history. In the Digital Menu editor, deleting a category displays an in-session "Undo Deletion" banner that immediately recovers the section and restores all associated menu items.

Yes. QRnaly incorporates automated security scanning, Google Safe Browsing verification, and real-time abuse reporting to ensure QR shortlinks cannot be hijacked for phishing or malicious payloads.

No. Free static Wi-Fi QR codes are encoded entirely locally inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your Wi-Fi network SSID and password are never transmitted, logged, or stored on our servers.

You can host digital assets directly connected to your QR campaigns, including PDF brochures, restaurant menus, product catalogues, flyers, posters, event schedules, and promotional offer images. These files are optimized and served directly when users scan your QR codes.

Campaign Asset Hosting allows you to store images and PDF files on QRnaly and connect them directly to your Dynamic QR codes. When a customer scans your QR code, QRnaly delivers the hosted campaign asset directly to their mobile browser without requiring external file hosting.

No. Campaign Asset Hosting is designed specifically for files and documents used with QRnaly campaigns (such as PDF menus, brochures, catalogues, and promotional banners), not as general-purpose personal cloud storage or file lockers.
