iQR.AU is an online platform designed for easy QR code generation. To use it, simply enter the URL or text you want to encode in the QR code, customize the design if you wish, and click the "Generate" button. Your QR code will be created instantly and ready for download or sharing.

Is iQR.AU free to use?

Yes, iQR.AU is completely free for basic QR code generation. We may offer advanced features in the future that could be part of a premium service.

What is the redirection page and how do I get rid of it?

For Dynamic Links, you may find a redirect page which comes up for 5 seconds on occasion. This is there for 2 reasons - for security and validation (we validate outbound URLs and make sure they are still safe) and for a little bit of shameless self promotion. We want everyone to know about the service. You will be able to get rid of it in future as a paid service for your URL.

How may scans to I get on my Dynamic QR Code before the redirection page shows UP?

For Dynamic Links, every new gode gets 50 free scans before the redirection page *may* be presented.

Can I buy any free scans to get rid of the redirect page?

Yes - you can! See the store and buy the number of scans you want need.

What happens if the ad free scans are exhausted?

The dynamic QR will revert to standard behaviour and randomly show the redirect page.

These options are available in the “Options” menu on our site. If you want to create your own dynamic names for your link this is possible also. We are trialling this with a limited number of people now, so please contact us and we'll send you the details.

What types of data can I encode in a QR code using iQR.AU?

Currently iQR.AU is made specifically for URL redirection and link creation. This may change in future.

Can I edit my QR code after creating it on iQR.AU?

Static QR codes cannot be edited once created. However, we are working on implementing dynamic QR codes, which can be edited even after generation.

Are you going to link me to something dangerous?

Whilst every caution is taken by iQR.AU to check the safety of sites it links to, we are not responsible for the links created by the site by third parties. We check domains, we check links as best we can, but if we miss something, Report it directly, or simply add ".report" to the end of the link to be taken to the report page.

How do I download the QR code I created?

Once your QR code is generated, click the “Download QR Code” link. You can save the QR code image in formats like PNG or JPG, depending on your needs. More formats are coming.

What are dynamic QR codes, and how are they different from static QR codes?

Dynamic QR codes allow you to change the encoded information without altering the QR code image, making them ideal for content that needs updating. Static QR codes, once created, cannot be changed; the data is fixed.

How do I edit my Dynamic QR Code

To edit your dynamic QR Code simply add ".edit" to the end of the code e.g. https://iqr.au/EDITEXAMPLE.edit and this will provide access to edit the dynamic QRCode destination. Once on the edit page, enter the edit Secret which was provided when you created the code. If you do not have the Edit Key Secret, then you can have this sent to you using the recovery email provided when you created the code. If you do not have the secret or the recovery email, then you cannot edit the code.

How can I ensure my QR code is readable?

For best readability, ensure good contrast between the QR code color and its background. Avoid small sizes; a larger QR code is easier to scan. Also, test the QR code in different environments to ensure it scans correctly.
