Privacy
- Static QR generation runs entirely in your browser — the tab URL is never sent to our servers for export.
- Generation history (last 50 codes) stays in chrome.storage.local on your device only.
- My codes and the scan badge use your existing qrtistry.com session — the same API as the dashboard.
Chrome extension FAQ
Install, privacy, pricing, and dynamic analytics — straight answers for the gateway page.
Is the QRtistry Chrome extension free?
Yes. Static QR code generation — styled PNG, SVG, and clipboard export — is free with no account. Dynamic codes with scan analytics use the same $9 one-time or Agency pricing as the website.
Do I need a QRtistry account to use the extension?
No account is required for static codes. Sign in with your existing qrtistry.com session when you want My codes, scan totals, and the toolbar badge for dynamic codes.
Does the extension send my browsing history to QRtistry?
No. Static export runs locally in your browser. Only signed-in My codes and badge polling call the same qrtistry.com API as the dashboard — no broad browsing data is collected.
Can I generate QR codes from links without opening a new tab?
Yes. Right-click any link, the current page, or an image and choose QR code from the context menu. The popup opens with the URL ready and your last preset applied.
Will my static QR codes stop working if I uninstall the extension?
No. Static codes encode the destination directly in the image. They keep working forever whether or not the extension is installed.
How do I track scans from codes made in the extension?
Create or convert a code to dynamic on qrtistry.com. Once signed in, the extension My codes tab shows scan totals and links to the full analytics dashboard.
