About QRSalt
QRSalt makes QR codes and short links for things that get printed: menus, packaging, signs, flyers, business cards. The first version went live in September 2026.
What it does
Two kinds of code, and one rule about what happens to the people who scan them.
- Static codes, free and unlimited
- Type a link, download the picture, print it. The address is inside the pattern, so the code needs no account and no server of ours: it works for as long as the page it points to exists.
- Dynamic codes, for anything costly to reprint
- A dynamic code opens a short link we keep, so the destination can change after the code is on a menu, a box or a shop window. Free holds 3; paid plans start at $12 a month.
- Scans counted without following anybody
- Scans are counted by day, place and device. No raw IP address is stored, repeat scanners are recognised only within one day through a code that changes daily, and no profile follows anyone between sites.
What we promise, and why it is written down
A printed code outlives the decision to buy the thing that made it. These are the terms that matter when it does.
- Unlimited scans on every plan
- A code that unexpectedly does well costs nothing extra and is never throttled. There are no per-scan fees on any plan, including the free one.
- Cancelling does not delete anything
- Editing stops when a paid plan ends, but every dynamic code keeps opening its last destination for 30 more days, and a reminder arrives before that runs out. Codes, links and history stay in the account, so subscribing again brings them all back.
- Your data is yours to take
- Every account can export its codes, history, scans, form answers and uploaded files as one archive. Deleting the account gives you 30 days to change your mind, and printed codes keep working until then.
Where it runs
A scanned code has to answer in a fraction of a second, from wherever the phone is. This is the arrangement behind that.
The service runs on a server in New York, with its database and uploaded files on the same machine and encrypted copies kept off it. The public site sits behind Cloudflare, which absorbs attacks, serves the pages quickly and reports the rough location a scan came from without us ever storing the address it came from.
Scans through a customer's own domain reach the server directly rather than through Cloudflare. Which company handles which part, and what each one is allowed to keep, is listed in the sub-processors page and described in the privacy policy.
Who runs it
A small operation, which is the honest description and the reason support is answered by somebody who knows the product.
QRSalt is built and run by , a company registered in Norway. Every message to support is read by a person who works on the product, and paid customers are answered first. There is no call centre and no ticket queue with somebody else's name on it.
Write to [email protected], or report a QR code that is being used for something it should not be. Abuse reports are acted on the same way whoever sends them: a code leading to phishing or malware is switched off as soon as it is confirmed.
The terms, the refund policy and the data agreement are all on the site rather than behind a request: terms of service, refunds and cancellation and the data processing agreement.
