sqr.art

QR codes that are actually your image

Your picture is not printed over the code — it is encoded into the code itself, down to the error-correction bits. Every QR stays fully scannable.

Scanning the QR redirects to this address. You will be able to keep the same printed code even if the destination changes later.

Advanced settings

Free live preview. Your design is saved while you check out — pay once (5 €) and it is yours for life. No sign-up: your account is created automatically after payment.

Your photo becomes the code

No logo pasted on top. The picture is woven into the QR data and error-correction bits, then verified by a real decoder before you download it.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload a picture

    A face, a logo, a product shot. Crop it, paint the important areas, protect what must stay perfect.

  2. 2

    We encode it

    Our solver weaves your image into the QR bits, picks the best mask, and verifies the result decodes.

  3. 3

    Print & track

    Download PNG or print-ready SVG, change the destination anytime, watch the scans come in.

Built for real-world use

Guaranteed scannable

Every code is decoded and verified before delivery. If it does not scan, it does not ship.

Dynamic destinations

Edit where your QR redirects after printing — reuse the same printed code for every campaign.

Scan statistics

Daily scan counts and device breakdown for every dynamic QR code, exportable as CSV.

Print-ready SVG

Vector output scales from business cards to billboards without a single blurry pixel.

Visual editor

Crop, paint the areas that matter most, and protect zones — a logo, a face — that must stay pixel-faithful.

API & webhooks

Generate QR codes programmatically and get notified when they are ready (Business).

WiFi access codes

Guests scan your photo and join your network — the credentials are engraved in the code, no server needed, ever.

Payment QR codes

Banking apps pre-fill a SEPA transfer to your account — tips, donations, invoices. Your IBAN is never stored on our servers.

Frequently asked questions

Will my QR code really scan?

Yes. Unlike tools that paint a logo over a standard code, sqr.art encodes your image into the QR data and error-correction bits themselves. Every generated code is verified by an actual decoder before you ever see it — an unscannable code cannot leave our servers. And you do not have to take our word for it: our generation engine is open source (sqrart/qart on Packagist).

What if it does not scan in real life?

It should not happen: the free live preview lets you test with your own phone before paying, and every final code is verified by a real decoder. If a code still fails in your conditions — a tricky print, an unusual screen — write to us: we will help you fix it, or refund your purchase.

What can the QR code contain?

Three things today: a link (editable anytime, with scan statistics), WiFi access (guests scan and connect — perfect for cafés and hotels), or a SEPA bank transfer that banking apps pre-fill (tips, donations, invoices). WiFi and transfer codes are engraved in the image itself and work without our servers, forever.

Can I change the destination after printing?

Yes. Your QR encodes a short sqr.art link, and you choose where it redirects — you can update the destination anytime, even after the code is printed on thousands of flyers.

Can I print it at large sizes?

Every generation includes a print-ready SVG that scales to any size without artifacts. For the halftone texture we recommend a minimum printed size of about 4×4 cm at 300 dpi.

How much does it cost?

The live preview is free. A QR code costs 5 € once — yours for life, with an editable destination and scan statistics. Need many? The Pro plan (9 €/month) includes unlimited QR codes and smart redirect rules; Business (29 €/month) adds the API, batch generation, CSV export and custom domains.

What image formats work best?

JPEG, PNG, WebP and GIF are supported. Pictures with good contrast and a clear subject — a face, a logo, a product — give the best results. The built-in editor lets you crop, paint the areas that matter, and protect zones that must stay perfectly faithful.
