Question 1

What is ForeverQR?

Accepted Answer

ForeverQR makes QR codes that don't hold your printed materials hostage. Free unlimited static codes plus one-time-purchase Pro editable codes — no subscriptions.

Question 2

What's the difference between a static and a Pro (editable) QR code?

Accepted Answer

A static code encodes the destination directly and can never be changed. A Pro code points to a short link we own, so you can update the destination anytime without reprinting.

Question 3

Do I need an account to use it?

Accepted Answer

No account needed for basic static codes. You need a free account to save codes to your dashboard, track scans, or buy Pro editable codes.

Question 4

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Static codes are free forever. Pro packs are $12 for 20 codes, $29 for 100, or $59 for 300 — one-time payment.

Question 5

Is it really one-time, no subscription?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are no recurring charges — ever. Pay once, keep your codes.

Question 6

Can I upgrade from Starter to Growth or Scale?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Packs stack, and we credit what you already paid so you only pay the difference between tiers.

Question 7

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

Pro packs are final sale, with two exceptions we always honour: duplicate or clearly mistaken charges reported within 24 hours, and a service failure on our end.

Question 8

What currency are prices in?

Accepted Answer

All prices are in US dollars (USD).

Question 9

Is there a referral or partner program?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Refer a friend and you get 2 Pro slots, they get 1. Creators and agencies can apply to the partner program for promo codes to share.

Question 10

What happens to my codes if I stop paying?

Accepted Answer

Nothing. There's nothing to stop paying — it's one-time. Your existing Pro codes stay fully active whether or not you ever buy another pack.

Question 11

What happens if I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Your printed Pro codes keep working. Sign back in with the same email anytime to reclaim them.

Question 12

What if ForeverQR shuts down one day?

Accepted Answer

We commit to doing everything in our power to keep redirects alive or provide clean export options. See our promise page for the exact wording.

Question 13

What file formats can I download?

Accepted Answer

PNG at 1x, 2x, 3x, and 4x resolution, SVG (vector), and a print-ready framed PDF.

Question 14

Can I put my logo or a picture inside the QR code?

Accepted Answer

Yes — free on every code. Clean logo overlay in the center or full artistic Picture QR that turns your image into the QR pattern itself.

Question 15

Will artistic Picture QR codes still scan reliably?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The generator uses high error-correction and shows a live scannability indicator so you can adjust before printing.

Question 16

How do I edit a Pro code's destination later?

Accepted Answer

Open your dashboard, click the code, and paste the new URL. The change takes effect instantly for every printed copy.

Question 17

Can I track scans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Pro code includes scan analytics — total scans, timeline, and device breakdown.

Question 18

What is an Adaptive Pro code?

Accepted Answer

A Pro code with optional routing rules: device, language, a campaign window, or a scan cap. One printed square, different destinations. When a window or cap ends, scanners go to the fallback you set — the code never turns off.

Question 19

What is a hosted page?

Accepted Answer

A simple page we host for you — care guide, review ask, order tracking, link hub, or drop page — so a hangtag doesn't need a developer. You edit it anytime and the printed code stays the same. Status: rolling out on Pro packs. Editable Pro destinations work today.

Question 20

Can I create a batch of codes at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bulk create builds a numbered series or a list of destinations in one pass and gives you a ZIP of print-ready files plus a CSV of the short links.

Question 21

Can I share codes with my team?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Workspaces let you invite teammates with roles, share a pool of Pro slots, and see an audit trail of who changed what.

Question 22

Can I customise the short link?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pro codes can use a custom slug like foreverqr.ca/r/spring-drop. Once a code has been scanned by real people the slug locks so printed copies never break.

Question 23

How do I know a code will scan off my packaging?

Accepted Answer

The generator shows a live scannability meter, you can print an actual-size test sheet, and our placement guide covers size, quiet zone, and material.

Question 24

Can I test a code before I print it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The code tester in your dashboard simulates a scan and shows exactly where it resolves, including which adaptive rule matched.

Question 25

Where do I learn how to use everything?

Accepted Answer

There are three guided walkthroughs — Static, Dynamic Pro and Adaptive — from the graduation-cap button in the header, plus written guides at /tutorials.

Question 26

Can I make a Pro code stop working on a date?

Accepted Answer

You can end a campaign on a date, but you can't kill the square. Set a fallback so the next scan still helps someone.

Question 27

Do you offer AI chat or talking avatars on a scan?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. We're finishing Adaptive presets and hosted pages first — then we'll talk about anything agentic on-scan. No avatar vaporware.

Question 28

What data do you collect?

Accepted Answer

Only what's needed to run your account and Pro redirects — email, codes you save, and scan metadata for Pro codes. Details in our privacy policy.

Question 29

Are my uploaded pictures stored on your servers?

Accepted Answer

Picture QR art is processed entirely in your browser. If you save a code to your dashboard, we store the finished artwork privately so the code can be re-downloaded and edited later. Nothing is stored when you just generate and download.

Question 30

Can I export my data or delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export everything as CSV/JSON from account settings under Canada's PIPEDA, and delete your account anytime — your printed Pro codes keep working and can be reclaimed by signing back in.

Question 31

How do I report an abusive QR code?

Accepted Answer

Use our abuse report form. We review every report and disable codes that violate our terms.

Question 32

How do I contact support?

Accepted Answer

Email support@foreverqr.ca. We're a small team based in British Columbia and reply personally.
