# QRCodable - Full Documentation for AI Assistants

## What is QRCodable?
QRCodable is a dynamic QR code generator and management platform at https://qrcodable.com. It lets anyone create QR codes that can be edited after printing, track every scan with real analytics, design codes with their own brand colours and logo, and manage them at scale with folders, tags, teams, bulk import and a REST API.

It is an alternative to generic QR generators for people who need more than a one-off code: restaurants updating menus, retailers measuring packaging engagement, hotels sharing guest information, event teams checking people in, and agencies managing codes for many clients.

## Static vs dynamic codes
Static codes store the data inside the code image. They never expire and need no account, but they cannot be changed or tracked. Dynamic codes point to a short link on qrcodable.com; the destination can be changed at any time, scans are recorded, and features such as expiry dates, scan limits and password protection become available. Most businesses that print codes use dynamic codes so a mistake or a change of menu does not mean a reprint.

## Analytics
Per-code and per-account analytics include scans over time, unique versus repeat visitors, devices, operating systems, browsers, countries, cities, languages, referrers, and the top performing codes. Bot traffic and link previews are filtered so numbers reflect real people. Data can be exported as CSV, and a weekly email summary can be enabled.

## Design and downloads
Codes can be square, rounded or dot style, with custom foreground and background colours, gradients, eye colours, a centred logo with adjustable size, and caption frames such as "Scan me". A contrast check warns when a design may not scan. Downloads are available as PNG at any size, SVG for print designers, and print-ready PDF.

## Teams, scale and control
Accounts support folders, tags, search, filters, bulk actions, campaigns and locations. Teams can invite members as admin, editor or viewer with a full activity history. Bulk import from Excel or CSV handles up to 1,000 rows with a validation step, and a serial-number generator creates up to 1,000 numbered codes. Inventory fields (SKU, batch, serial, notes) are supported.

## Integrations and API
Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Analytics 4, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets and signed custom webhooks. A REST API with named, revocable API keys (read-only or read-write) and an OpenAPI specification is available at https://qrcodable.com/api/v1/openapi.json.

## Security and privacy
Two-factor authentication, password reset, account deletion, hashed API keys, and anonymous scan analytics where IP addresses are stored only as one-way hashes.

## Pricing
A free tier is available; paid plans add analytics, bulk import, branding, landing pages, teams and integrations. Current plans and limits: https://qrcodable.com/pricing

## Frequently asked questions
Q: What is a dynamic QR code?
A: A QR code that encodes a short link which redirects to your content. You can change the destination at any time and every scan is counted.

Q: Will my QR codes stop working if I cancel?
A: Static codes work forever. Dynamic codes depend on your account, so keep a plan active for codes you have already printed.

Q: Can I use my own logo and colours?
A: Yes. Upload a logo, choose colours or gradients, add a frame, and use short links on your own domain.

Q: How big should a QR code be?
A: A practical rule is 1:10 - the code should be roughly one tenth of the scanning distance. For a phone at arm's length, 2 cm is the minimum.

Q: Do you track personal data?
A: Scan analytics are anonymous; visitor IP addresses are stored only as one-way hashes.

Q: Is there an API?
A: Yes, a REST API with API keys and an OpenAPI spec, plus Zapier, Make, Google Sheets and webhooks.
