Frequently asked questions

OnestQR is a dynamic QR code generator that lets you create, customize, edit, and track QR codes from one dashboard. You can start for free without creating an account.

Yes. Guest and Member accounts are free forever. You get dynamic QR codes, full analytics, custom designs, and editing on every plan. Pro is optional and only needed when you want unlimited codes and higher limits.

No. You can start as a Guest with zero signup. OnestQR gives you a secure 5-word recovery phrase so you can return to your dashboard anytime. If you prefer email login, create a free Member account instead.

Click Create QR, paste your content (a URL, Wi-Fi details, email, plain text, or contact info), customize the design if you want, then download as PNG or SVG. The whole process takes seconds.

OnestQR supports website links, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS, Wi-Fi networks, vCard contacts, PDF links, Google review links, menus, event pages, and more. The generator detects the content type automatically.

All three tiers use the same dashboard and include dynamic codes, analytics, editing, and custom designs. Guest needs no signup and uses a recovery phrase (10 codes). Member adds email login (100 codes). Pro unlocks unlimited codes and priority support for $5.99/month.

When you start as a Guest, OnestQR generates a unique 5-word recovery phrase. It works like a password — save it somewhere safe. Enter it anytime to access your dashboard without an email or password.

Your recovery phrase is the only way to access a Guest account. If you lose it, we cannot recover your codes. We strongly recommend writing it down or saving it in a password manager. You can also create a free Member account with email login to avoid relying on a phrase.

Yes. You can create a free Member account with your email at any time. Your existing codes and settings carry over, and you get a higher code limit plus standard email-and-password login.

Pro costs $5.99 per month and is billed through Dodo Payments. You can upgrade when you need unlimited QR codes and priority support. Cancel anytime — there is no long-term contract.

A dynamic QR code points to a short redirect URL that you control. When someone scans it, they are sent to your current destination. You can change that destination anytime without reprinting the code.

A static QR code encodes data directly — change the link and you need a new code. A dynamic QR code routes through OnestQR, so you can edit the destination, track scans, and manage everything from your dashboard after printing.

Yes. That is the main benefit of dynamic QR codes. Update the link on menus, business cards, posters, or packaging whenever you want. The printed code stays the same.

No. Your QR codes do not expire on any plan. As long as your account is active and within your plan limits, your codes keep working.

No. You can update redirects as often as you need. There are no redirect caps on any plan.

Yes. Adjust colors to match your brand, round the corners, and add your logo to the center. Every change previews live so you always see the final result before downloading.

You can export high-resolution PNG for screens and print, or scalable SVG for any size without quality loss. PDF export is coming soon.

Yes, as long as you keep enough contrast and do not cover too much of the code with your logo. OnestQR uses error correction and shows a live preview so you can confirm scannability before downloading.

Yes. You can copy your QR code image to the clipboard in one click for quick use in documents, slides, or design tools.

Yes. Every dynamic QR code includes real-time scan analytics on all plans — Guest, Member, and Pro. See when and how people engage with your codes from one dashboard.

You can see total scans, trends over time, and engagement patterns to measure campaigns, menu views, event attendance, and offline-to-online conversions. Deeper analytics features are expanding over time.

No. Scanners see your content — not our ads. OnestQR never puts advertising on your QR code destinations.

Pro is $5.99 per month. It includes unlimited dynamic QR codes, unlimited analytics, custom designs, editing, and priority support. Guest and Member plans remain free.

No. Guest and Member accounts are completely free with no credit card required. You only need payment details if you choose to upgrade to Pro.

No. Dynamic codes, editing, analytics, and custom designs are included on every plan. The main difference between tiers is how many QR codes you can create.

Yes. Cancel your Pro subscription whenever you want. There is no forced trial and no long-term commitment.

There is no forced trial. You can use Guest or Member for free indefinitely. Upgrade to Pro only when you actually need unlimited codes.

Yes. We use industry-standard security practices to protect your account and QR code data. Guest accounts are secured by your recovery phrase, and Member accounts use email and password authentication.

No. We do not sell your personal data or scan data to third parties.

Only you can manage your codes from your dashboard. People who scan your QR code are sent to the destination you set — they do not see your account or other codes.

For reliable scanning, print at least 2 cm (about 0.8 inches) square. Larger is better for posters, signage, and distance scanning. Use SVG for large-format print to keep edges sharp.

Yes. Restaurants use OnestQR for digital menus, Google review requests, Wi-Fi access, and promotions. Update your menu link anytime without reprinting table cards.

Absolutely. Create a vCard or link QR code, customize it to match your brand, and download a high-resolution PNG or SVG for print.

Yes. Use QR codes for registration, schedules, tickets, feedback forms, and sponsor links. Change destinations during the event and track engagement in real time.

Common causes are low contrast, printing too small, glare on laminated surfaces, or a logo covering too much of the code. Try increasing size, boosting contrast, or reducing logo coverage. Test with your phone before mass printing.

Yes. Modern iPhones and Android phones scan QR codes with the built-in camera app. No special app is required.

OnestQR works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on desktop and mobile.

API access is coming soon. It will let you generate, edit, and manage QR codes programmatically for apps, platforms, and internal tools.

Custom domains are on the roadmap and coming soon. For now, all dynamic codes route through OnestQR redirects while keeping full edit and analytics control.
