Read full description

QR Studio is the QR code app that does it all: generate, design, track, and scan. Built mobile-native for iPhone and iPad, with an AI design partner that no other QR app has. CREATE ANY QR CODE URLs, WiFi, vCard contacts, email, SMS, WhatsApp, social profiles, PayPal, crypto, calendar events, Spotify, maps, plain text, and more. Paste anything and QR Studio auto-detects the type and fills in the fields for you. DESIGN WITH AI Describe the look you want ("retro neon for a coffee shop") and the AI builds a complete design: colours, dot style, corner style, frame text, and logo placement. Don't like it? Just say "more minimal" and it iterates. NO WATERMARKS, NO ADS Your static codes carry no watermark, never expire, and there are no ads anywhere in the app. PRINT-READY EXPORT Export as PNG, SVG, or a print-ready PDF with bleed and crop marks. Take your codes straight to a print shop. Crisp at any size. DYNAMIC CODES THAT YOU CONTROL Change the destination URL anytime without reprinting the code. Set expiry dates, scan limits, and scheduled activation. REAL SCAN ANALYTICS See total scans, unique scans, device type, country, and peak times. Export the raw data as CSV. A SCANNER YOU CAN TRUST Fast camera scanner, scan from photos, full history, and torch support. No data harvesting. No ads. Your scans stay yours. DESIGN TOOLS Custom dot and corner styles, gradients, logo embedding with auto safe-zone checks, frames with editable labels, and a brand kit to apply your colours and logo with one tap. FOR BUSINESS Batch-create hundreds of codes from a CSV. Team sharing, REST API, webhooks, Zapier, conditional redirects by country/device/time, and password-protected codes. PRIVATE AND SECURE Sign in with Apple or Google to sync across devices, or just start creating as a guest. Your data is encrypted. Full data export and account deletion, always. PLANS Pro and Business are available as in-app subscriptions, and Pro is also available as a one-time Lifetime purchase. Pro adds every standard QR type, dynamic codes, full analytics, SVG and PDF export, the brand kit, and more AI design requests. Business adds unlimited dynamic codes, batch creation, team sharing, the API and webhooks. Download QR Studio and make your first code in seconds.
