*******Make a QR Code for Anything — and Know It Works******* Sharing Wi-Fi with guests, handing out your details, or putting a code on a flyer? Pick what to share, add a few details — or describe it in plain English — and your code is ready to save, print or send. And before you spend money printing it, Qrysta lets you check it's right. Create 10 kinds of QR codes, each for a real, everyday job: Website Links: Send people to your site, menu, or shop. Wi-Fi Connection: Let guests join — no password typing. Contact Details: Share your info, saved in one tap. WhatsApp: Open a chat with your message ready. Email: Open a new email addressed to you. Phone Call: Let people call you with one tap. Send a Text (SMS): Start a text to any number. Location: Drop people onto a spot in Maps. Calendar Event: Add your event to their calendar. Text: Share any note or message. *******Check It Before You Print It******* A QR code is the one thing you can't check by looking at it. So Qrysta shows you what's inside — before you make it, and any time after. See what your code really says, in plain words: the Wi-Fi network and password, the contact's name and number, the event's date, place and guests. Open a saved code and your password stays hidden until you tap Show — copy any detail, don't read it aloud. It catches small mistakes too, like an email typed into the web address box. No more ordering 500 cards and hoping. *******Will People Be Able to Scan It?******* Qrysta tells you how close someone must stand to scan it, and warns you before you print, not after: too small, too blurry for the quality you picked, a color cameras struggle with, or a shape and logo that won't read together. *******Describe It in Plain English (Apple Intelligence)******* Prefer not to fill in a form? Just say what you need: "Wi-Fi for home, network Acme Guest, password coffee123" — and Qrysta fills it in, on your device, fully private. Needs an Apple Intelligence-eligible iPhone or iPad with iOS 26. *******Style Your Codes (Pro)******* Choose dot shapes — square, rounded, circle or diamond — plus corner shapes, gradients and background patterns. Drop in your logo and Qrysta removes the white box around it, and warns you when a logo would make it hard to scan. Your colors carry to the next code; with Pro, your shapes do too. For the center logo: a Genmoji, an Image Playground creation, your own photo, or any image from Files. Square shapes and solid colors stay free; the rest is Pro. (Genmoji and Image Playground need Apple Intelligence.) *******Print It Yourself — or Hand It to a Print Shop******* Print on your own printer, free — one code per page, at the size you chose, up to a full sheet. Using a print shop? Every file is named with its size — "Guest Wi-Fi 25mm 300dpi" — so they know how big to print. Or share to Messages, Mail and social. On iPad, drag a code into another app. *******Export Your Way******* PNG and JPG: Free for life. Great for chat, social and screens. PDF (Pro): Stays sharp at any size — for printing. SVG (Pro): For designers and print shops. Choose the size — Business card, Flyer, Wall poster or your own — and for PNG and JPG: On a screen, On paper or Big print. *******Stay Organized******* Create folders with icons and colors, by project, client or event. Your list shows each code in its real colors and shapes, so you spot the right one at a glance. Search, duplicate or rename anytime. *******No Subscription. Yours Forever******* Qrysta is a one-time purchase, never a subscription. Pay once for Pro and keep it for life. No Qrysta account. No tracking. Family Sharing supported. The optional tip jar unlocks nothing — just a way to say thanks. *******Private by Design******* Turn on iCloud and your codes back up privately and sync across your devices. Nothing touches our servers — there aren't any. Download Qrysta and make your first code. https://fierce-inlet-63133.herokuapp.com/qrysta-privacy
