Can I create a QR code without an account?

Yes. QR-Dragonfly lets you generate QR codes instantly with no account or sign-up required. Guest codes are stored in your browser. For dynamic updates, click tracking, and cloud sync across devices, create a free account — no credit card needed.

Can I customise QR code colors?

Yes. Both guest and registered users can pick a custom dark color and light color for each QR code. The color picker is available directly in the creation form.

Do I need to reprint QR codes if I change the destination URL?

No. QR-Dragonfly creates dynamic QR codes that encode a short redirect link, not the final URL. Update the destination in your dashboard and all existing printed codes immediately point to the new destination — no reprinting needed.

What is a dynamic QR code?

A dynamic QR code encodes a redirect link rather than a final URL. The destination can be changed at any time without modifying or reprinting the QR code image. This is in contrast to static QR codes, which permanently encode the target URL.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Creating an account is free by default — no credit card required. The Free plan includes 5 active and 20 total QR codes. Paid subscriptions (Basic and Enterprise) are optional upgrades for users who need higher limits or advanced features.

How does QR code click tracking work?

Every scan of a QR-Dragonfly redirect link is recorded server-side with a timestamp. You can view per-code scan counts and time-series click data from the QR code stats page in your dashboard.

What happens when I deactivate a QR code?

Inactive QR codes redirect scanners to your account's default redirect URL (such as your homepage) instead of returning an error. You can reactivate a code at any time.

What download formats are supported?

QR-Dragonfly supports downloading QR codes as PNG, SVG, JPEG, and EPS files.

How do I create a QR code for my website?

Go to qr-dragonfly.com, enter your website URL and a label, then click Generate. Your QR code is ready instantly — no account or sign-up required. Customise the colors and download in PNG, SVG, JPEG, or EPS format. Create a free account to make the code dynamic so you can update the destination URL at any time without reprinting.

How do I track how many times my QR code was scanned?

Create a free account on QR-Dragonfly — no credit card required. Every scan of a dynamic QR code is recorded server-side with a timestamp. View per-code scan counts and a time-series chart from the QR code stats page in your dashboard.

Can I use a QR code for a restaurant menu?

Yes. Create a QR code linking to your online menu URL and print or display it in your restaurant. With a free QR-Dragonfly account, the code is dynamic — if your menu URL ever changes, update the destination in the dashboard and the same printed QR code immediately links to the new page. No reprinting needed.

How QR Code Generation Works

QR-Dragonfly generates QR codes entirely in the browser using the qrcode JavaScript library (ISO/IEC 18004). The process is:

The user supplies a destination URL and an optional label.
The frontend encodes a short redirect URL (https://qr-dragonfly.com/r/{id}) into a QR code matrix using Reed–Solomon error correction at level M.
The QR matrix is rendered to an HTML5 canvas element with the user’s chosen foreground and background colors.
The canvas is exported to the requested format: PNG or JPEG via canvas.toDataURL(); SVG via direct matrix-to-path serialisation; EPS via a PostScript template built from the matrix.
For registered users, the short redirect ID is persisted in PostgreSQL via the Go QR service. For guest users, the code metadata is stored in browser localStorage only.

When a QR code is scanned, the device hits https://qr-dragonfly.com/r/{id}. The Go click service looks up the redirect target, records the scan timestamp, applies any Enterprise query-string parameter or cookie enrichment, and issues a 302 redirect to the destination URL.
