AI QR code art that actually scans

Many do, but not all. In our scan test, 8 of 14 AI QR codes scanned on both an iPhone and an Android phone, and the scene mattered more than any setting. We decode your control image before any paid generation and check the finished art automatically, but phones read many codes that automatic checks miss, so always confirm with your own phone.

New accounts get 6 free AI images, granted once. Classic QR codes are free and need no account. A generation that fails does not use an image.

Generating uses a paid AI model. A verified account lets us keep track of your free images, keep your creations private and prevent abuse. Classic QR codes stay anonymous.

When you press Generate, your link (drawn into a control image) and your prompt are sent to our AI image service to create the image. The result is saved privately to your account. Do not enter personal or sensitive details.

A higher structure strength (up to 2.5) keeps the code clearer; a lower one leaves more room for the art. In our scan test, the standard and large code sizes gave the same result, so choose the size for the look you want. Very dark scenes can fail even at 2.5: our neon street at night never scanned, so make a dark scene brighter (dusk instead of night) rather than relying on strength.

Yes. After generating, pick an icon or a brand logo, or upload your own. It is added on your device when you download and checked for scanning again. Your logo is never uploaded.

Yes, if the editable short link was on when you generated the art (it is on by default). The code points to your ZapQR short link, and you can change its destination from your account. Art made with the short link turned off holds your link directly and cannot be changed.

No. A static QR code stores its content directly in the image and does not expire by itself. A URL QR code keeps working as long as the destination page stays online.
