AI QR codes that actually scan.
AI art is not available yet. Image generation is switched off on this deployment. You cannot generate art here today: the studio refuses every prompt, plan credits cannot be spent, and credit packs are not for sale. The rest of this page describes how the feature is built.
As built: you describe a scene and get a poster-grade image with your QR code woven through it, decoded by machine before download — art that doesn’t scan doesn’t cost a credit.
Simulated preview. These images are drawn by QRForge's demo renderer to show each style preset's palette — they are not output of the image model, and none of them has been scan-validated.

Describe the scene
Type a prompt or start from one of twelve presets — watercolor to blueprint. Pick the link the art should carry: a new URL or one of your existing dynamic codes.
The model paints over the grid
Your link becomes a module grid first; the image model renders your scene on top of it, preserving the structure a camera needs to lock on.
A machine scans it first
Before you see the result, we decode it the way a phone would. Clean decode: a validated badge. Unreliable: flagged, regenerated free, credit refunded.
Pretty is easy. Scannable is the product.
Most AI QR tools hand you a beautiful image and let your customers discover at the print shop that it doesn’t read. We treat scan reliability as a hard gate, not a suggestion.
the gate below is shipped code, but it is not running: AI art is off
Machine validation. Every image is decoded server-side before delivery — the same read a camera performs.
Automatic retry. Generations that fail validation are retried by the pipeline before they ever reach you; low-reliability results regenerate free.
Credits refunded. Failed or low-reliability art returns its credit to your balance automatically. You pay for working codes, nothing else.
Three credits free, then honest math.
Signup includes 3 credits — enough to put real art on a real code. Plans add 10, 40, or 150 credits monthly (Starter, Pro, Business), and packs are listed at 25 for $5 or 100 for $15.
AI art is not available yet. Those credits cannot be spent today and the packs are not for sale — the prices above are catalog only. A paid plan buys everything else on its card; its monthly AI credits sit unusable until generation is switched on.
AI art, minus the leap of faith.
Can I generate AI art right now?
No. AI art is not available yet — image generation is switched off on this deployment. The studio will not accept a prompt, plan credits cannot be spent, and credit packs are not for sale. Everything else on QRForge — the editor, dynamic codes, analytics and exports — works today.
How does an AI QR code work?
Your link is first encoded into a normal QR module grid. The image model then paints your prompt over that grid, keeping the dark-light structure intact enough for cameras to read. The result is artwork that is simultaneously a working code.
Will the art actually scan?
When generation is switched on: every generation is decoded by machine before you see it, exactly the way a phone camera would. Art that decodes cleanly ships with a 'validated' badge; art that reads as unreliable is flagged 'low' and costs you nothing.
What happens when a generation fails or scans poorly?
While generation is off nothing is charged at all, because nothing runs. As built: the pipeline retries automatically first. If the result still fails validation or scores low reliability, the credit is refunded automatically and regeneration is free — you only pay for codes that work.
How many credits do I get?
Three free credits at signup. Starter, Pro, and Business plans add 10, 40, and 150 per month, and top-up packs are listed at 25 for $5 or 100 for $15. None of those credits can be spent while AI art is off, and the packs are not for sale — they are catalog prices only.
Can the art carry a dynamic link?
Yes — point it at one of your dynamic codes and the artwork inherits everything: an editable destination and full scan analytics. Repoint the poster's link long after it's on the wall.
What do I download?
A high-resolution image sized for print and social. Free-tier art carries a watermark; paid plans download clean.

Generation is switched off, so there is nothing to buy on this page today. The editor, dynamic codes, analytics and exports all work now.
