About

QRora

QRora makes QR codes that actually look good — and it does it honestly. Most QR generators bury you in ads, stamp a watermark on your code, or quietly sign you up for a subscription that holds your code hostage. QRora doesn't. You design a beautiful code, export it, and it's yours. That's the whole deal. Design, not just generate Choose from a range of dot and corner styles, set your own foreground and background colors, and apply smooth gradients. Drop your logo into the middle — error correction is raised automatically so it still scans every time. Watch the preview update live as you go. Every kind of code Make codes for links, plain text, Wi-Fi networks, and more. Type your content, style it, done. Export for screen or print Save a crisp PNG for email and the web, or a vector PDF that stays razor-sharp at any size — from a business card to a banner. Made on your device. We collect nothing. Every code is generated right on your iPhone. There are no accounts, no servers of ours, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind. Your content never leaves your phone unless you export or share it yourself. Honest, one-time pricing The free version makes styled codes with no ads and no watermark, ever. A single one-time unlock — no subscription, no renewals — adds the full set of styles, gradients, logo embedding, and vector PDF export. Pay once, keep it forever. QRora is for anyone who wants a QR code that looks like they meant it: small businesses, makers, event organizers, or anyone tired of the junk. Beautiful codes, made simple, made honestly.
