Is QR-Verse really free?

Yes, 100%. Create unlimited static QR codes with full design customization — no signup, no credit card, no hidden fees. Dynamic QR codes with analytics are also free.

What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

Static codes store data directly in the pattern — they work forever but can't be changed. Dynamic codes redirect through our servers, so you can change the destination, track scans, and view analytics anytime without reprinting.

Can I add my logo to the QR code?

Yes! Upload any logo and we'll center it in your QR code. We automatically increase error correction to keep it scannable. Works with PNG, JPG, and SVG.

What file formats can I download?

PNG for digital (social media, websites, email) and SVG for print (flyers, posters, billboards). SVG scales to any size without losing quality.

How does scan tracking work?

Dynamic QR codes include a free analytics dashboard showing scan count, locations, devices, browsers, and time patterns. All tracking is GDPR compliant and opt-in. No cookies on scan pages.

Static QR codes never expire — they work forever with no internet needed. Dynamic QR codes stay active as long as your account is active. We don't artificially limit scan counts or set expiration dates.

Do I need an account to use QR-Verse?

No! Create and download static QR codes without any account or signup. Create a free account only if you want dynamic QR codes with analytics, editing, and team features.

What size should my QR code be for printing?

Download SVG for print — it scales to any size without quality loss. For best scanning results, ensure at least 2cm x 2cm (0.8in x 0.8in) and maintain good contrast between the QR code and background.

Is my data safe with QR-Verse?

Absolutely. QR-Verse is GDPR compliant, uses bank-grade encryption, and never sells your data. Scan analytics are opt-in only, and we place no cookies on scan pages.

Is QR-Verse available in my language?

QR-Verse is fully available in 7 languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. The entire interface, including help docs and support, is localized.

AI Art Prompting Guide: Write Better Prompts

The prompt you write is the single biggest factor in how your AI art QR code looks. This guide teaches you how to write prompts that produce stunning, scannable results every time.

Anatomy of a Great Prompt

A strong prompt has four parts that work together:

Subject — What's in the scene? (coffee beans, forest, circuit board, roses, ocean waves)
Style — What artistic style? (watercolor, oil painting, 3D render, photograph, pixel art)
Mood & Lighting — What atmosphere? (warm, dramatic, soft, neon, golden hour, moody)
Quality keywords — Technical terms that improve output (8k, masterpiece, sharp focus, high detail, professional)

Example Prompts by Industry

Here are proven prompts for different business types. Use them as-is or as starting points for your own custom prompts.

Restaurant / Café

Artisan coffee beans scattered on rustic wooden table, steam rising from espresso cup, warm golden lighting, food photography style, bokeh background, 8k masterpiece

Wedding / Events

Elegant white roses and gold leaf on marble surface, soft romantic lighting, watercolor effect, delicate botanical illustration style, pastel tones, 8k

Technology / Startup

Futuristic circuit board with glowing neon blue pathways, dark background, cyberpunk aesthetic, sharp geometric patterns, high contrast, digital art, 8k

Nature / Eco

Lush tropical forest with morning mist, rays of sunlight through canopy, vibrant green foliage, nature photography, peaceful atmosphere, 8k

Retail / Luxury

Luxury product display on black velvet, dramatic spotlight, gold accents, premium brand aesthetic, studio photography, sharp focus, 8k

What to Avoid in Prompts

Extremely busy textures — Prompts like 'thousands of tiny flowers covering every surface' can interfere with QR readability.
Very low contrast scenes — All-white or all-dark scenes make it hard for the QR pattern to remain visible and scannable.
Too much center detail — The QR code's finder patterns (corner squares) need to remain recognizable. Avoid placing focal elements directly over them.
Human faces as the main subject — AI tends to prioritize face generation over QR pattern preservation. Use faces as background elements instead.

Understanding Advanced Settings

QR Visibility (ControlNet Scale)

Controls how strongly the QR code pattern is preserved in the artwork.

Higher values (1.5–2.5) — QR code is more visible, always scannable. Best for printed materials.
Lower values (0.5–1.2) — More artistic freedom, more dramatic results, but increased scan risk.

For printed materials, keep at 1.5 or above. For digital use (screens), experiment with 1.2–1.5.

Prompt Adherence (Guidance Scale)

Controls how literally the AI follows your prompt description.

Higher values (12–20) — Results closely match your description. Less creative interpretation.
Lower values (5–9) — More creative freedom, results may surprise you.

Start at 10 (default). If output doesn't match your vision, increase to 12–15.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

QR code won't scan? Increase QR Visibility to 1.8 or higher and regenerate. Ensure your prompt doesn't specify very low contrast colors.
Result doesn't match prompt? Increase Prompt Adherence to 14–15 and add more specific descriptive terms. Be explicit about colors, textures, and lighting.
Result looks too plain? Decrease QR Visibility slightly (try 1.2–1.4) and use a more detailed, descriptive prompt with style and mood keywords.
Results vary too much? Use the same prompt and settings, then regenerate. Each generation produces 4 variations — one will likely match your vision.

Tips for Iterating

Start with a preset close to what you want, then modify the prompt to add your own twist.
If one of the 4 variations is close but not perfect, regenerate using the same settings — you'll get 4 new interpretations.
Use quality keywords at the end of every prompt: '8k, masterpiece, sharp focus, high detail' consistently improve output quality.
Keep QR Visibility at 1.5+ for your first few generations until you understand how the balance works, then experiment lower.
