Frequently Asked Questions
What is QRW.io?

QRW.io (or old name: QRWrapper) is a URL shortener service with QR code generator, analytics and more.

Why should I use QRW.io?

You can change the shared or printed URL or QR code link anytime, therefore the content behind the URL can be replaced at any time afterwards.

The dynamic URL comes with analytics, from which you can find out how many times and from which region the QR code was scanned or the link was clicked.

You can create the best smallest and scannable QR codes with 1-3 length string.

How do credits work?

Credits are the currency used to create short links on QRW.io. Each link costs a certain number of credits depending on its length — shorter links cost more credits because they are rarer and more valuable.

You can buy credit packages from the Settings page. Available packages range from 10 credits (Starter, 5 €) up to 500 credits (Business, 120 €). Larger packages give you a better per-credit rate. Credits never expire.

How short can my link be?

The minimum link length is 3 characters (e.g. qrw.io/abc). These ultra-short links are premium and cost significantly more credits. Links of 20 or more characters are the most affordable at just 3 credits each.

There is no maximum length limit — you can create links as long as you need.

Can I change the destination URL after creating a link?

Yes! This is one of the key benefits of QRW.io. Every link is dynamic, meaning you can update the destination URL at any time from your Dashboard — without changing the short link or the QR code itself.

Each save in the link editor costs 1 credit. You can update the redirect URL and labels as often as you need, as long as you have credits available.

This is especially useful for printed materials such as flyers, business cards, or posters where the QR code cannot be reprinted.

What analytics are available for my links?

Each link has its own statistics page showing click counts over time. You can switch between Daily, Weekly, and Monthly views to see how your link performs across different time periods.

The chart displays both per-period clicks and a cumulative total, so you can track growth at a glance.

How do I download the QR code for my link?

Open the Statistics page for any of your links from the Dashboard. You will find a QR code preview along with a Download QR button that saves the image as a PNG file, ready for print or digital use.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple:

  1. Log in with your account.
  2. Go to Settings → Billing and purchase a credit package.
  3. Head to Create Link and enter your destination URL and preferred short link.
  4. Your link and QR code are instantly ready to share.
Do my links ever expire?

No. Once a link is created it is yours permanently. There are no subscriptions or recurring fees — you only spend credits when creating a new link.
