Print once. Change what it opens.

  1. printed on your tables
  2. yoursite.com/fall-menu
    October
  3. yoursite.com/winter-menu
    December, same code

One exception: a WiFi or email/SMS code set to join or open directly has its details printed inside the code, so changing those details means new files and a reprint.

How it works

  1. Pay $19On Stripe's page.
  2. Get a setup linkBy email, when Stripe confirms.
  3. Set it upKind, address, look. Preview a scan.
  4. PrintFiles and signs arrive. Done.

Twelve kinds. Choose after you pay.

  • Website linkScanning opens a web page: your site, a booking page, anything with an address.
  • MenuScanning opens your menu online: a page on your site, or a PDF you already host.
  • WiFi networkScanning joins your network, or shows the name and password to copy. You choose how it is printed: a code that joins automatically needs a reprint to change.
  • Business cardScanning shows your name and how to reach you, with a tap-to-save contact.
  • Social media profilesScanning shows a button for each of your profiles.
  • PDF documentScanning opens a PDF that already lives online: a brochure, a price list, a form.
  • ImageScanning opens a picture that already lives online.
  • VideoScanning opens a video: YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, or one on your own site.
  • App Store / Play Store linkScanning sends an iPhone to the App Store and an Android phone to Google Play.
  • Coupon / promoScanning shows the offer, the code to use, and the small print.
  • Business listingScanning opens your Google Business profile, Yelp page, or another listing you already have.
  • Email / SMSScanning opens a new email or text to you, straight into the app or from a page with buttons. A code that opens the app directly needs a reprint to change.

The $19 business card is your name, number and email with a save button. The $99 one is a whole page: your photo, your logo, your story.

Want it printed?

From your edit page, order a yard sign, an acrylic table sign or a window decal with your code already on it, made and shipped to a US address, one price with shipping included. Pick one or all, in one order.

Need a code that never changes?

For a link, some text or a WiFi network that will never change, make a free code right in your browser, with no signup and no email. Its details are inside the code itself, so if they might ever change, that means reprinting.

The details

Files, sizes, payment and the fine print
  • PNG at 1200 px, a vector SVG, and a PDF that prints the code about 3 inches across (about 3.9 inches with its white border). Colors are RGB.
  • One payment. No monthly fee from us. It keeps working while we operate the service. Not a promise the service runs indefinitely.
  • No password. Just the email on the order. We don't store your card: Stripe takes the payment, and nothing is charged again automatically.
  • No scan cap.
  • Within 30 days of purchase, email refunds@helmqr.com for a full refund of what you paid. Refunding a code switches that printed code off. Refunding a pack switches off every code in it. Refunding a page takes the page down.
  • WiFi and email/SMS codes can open a simple page from us that shows the details, so you can change them without a reprint. It is not the $99 hosted page.

What you get for $19: twelve kinds of code, and none of the monthly bill.

All 12 types. Change what it opens after it's printed.URL, PDF, image, video, vCard, WiFi, social media, menu, app store link, coupon, business listing, or email/SMS. One exception: a WiFi or email/SMS code set to join or open directly has its details printed inside the code, so changing those details means new files and a reprint. You choose after you pay, on a setup page that shows you exactly what a scan will do before you confirm. PDF, image and video codes point at a file you already have online. A hosted page, the kind you fill with your own words and photographs, comes only with the $99 product.
WiFi and email/SMS: joins automatically, or opens a simple page from usThe simple page shows the details: the network name and password, or buttons to email or text you. It is not the $99 hosted page. Your choice, during setup, and you can switch later, with no extra charge while HelmQR operates the service. Each way has a cost: see "Should my WiFi code join automatically or open a simple page?" in the FAQ.
Delivered in PNG, SVG, and print-ready PDFEmailed the moment you confirm your setup, automatically, and sized correctly for print, not just screens: the PNG is at least 1200 pixels wide, and the PDF and SVG are vector drawings of the same code, the PDF a printable QR code PDF that prints the code about 3 inches across (about 3.9 inches with its white border). Colors are RGB. Change something that alters the print and new files follow. Every code also comes with ready-to-print signs made from it: a table tent, a window sign, a counter card, a yard-sign rider and an 18 x 24 in yard sign, on your private edit page. Print them yourself, or take the file to any print shop. The three files you receive: a 1200px PNG, a vector SVG, and a 4-inch print-ready PDF, each of the same QR code.
Your colors, your words, your logoPick the colors, add a line under the code like "Scan for menu", and put your logo in the middle. It's included, and you can change it while HelmQR operates the service. We check that every design still scans before we send it.
Change it whenever you like.No extra charge while HelmQR operates the service. Changing where a code points needs no reprint. A new look is optional: the code you already printed is not changed by it. Only a WiFi or email/SMS code that joins automatically, or switching a code to or from joining automatically, needs a reprint, and we send you the new files.
No scan capThe price has no scan cap, and there is no "upgrade to keep scanning" wall.
A scan report you can actually readSee how many times your code was scanned, on which days and at what hours, which city (never closer than a city, never from GPS), and on phone, tablet or desktop, with a short summary in plain English. Save it as a one-page PDF, download every scan as a spreadsheet file, or send a view-only link to someone else and switch it off whenever you like. It's on your private edit page, with no login and no password. A pack also has a report for the whole pack, with a row for each code. We never store IP addresses. (A WiFi code that joins automatically never contacts us, so it has nothing to report.)
Pay once. No monthly bill, ever.Nothing recurs, and there is no further charge for that code.

  • Your colors, words and logo

    Included. We check every design still scans before we send it.

  • A scan report you can read

    When, which city (never closer than a city), and on phone, tablet or desktop, in plain English. Share it or save the PDF.

A QR code you can change after it's printed

One code. Twelve kinds. No scan cap.

  • No subscription. Ever.

  • No password. Just the email on the order.

  • One payment. No monthly fee from us. It keeps working while we operate the service. Not a promise the service runs indefinitely.

  • Change it whenever you like. No extra charge while HelmQR operates the service.

  • Want a full menu, listing or business card page, not just a link? That's the $99 page.

Change where it points, or even what kind of code it is. One exception: a WiFi or email/SMS code set to join or open directly has its details printed inside the code, so changing those details means new files and a reprint. We don't store your card: Stripe takes the payment, and nothing is charged again automatically.

Choose what it does after you pay

  • Website link
  • Menu
  • PDF
  • Image
  • Video
  • Business card
  • WiFi
  • Social profiles
  • App store
  • Coupon
  • Business listing
  • Email / SMS

What happens after you pay

  1. You pay.
  2. A setup link is emailed when Stripe confirms your payment.
  3. You choose the type and destination, make it look the way you want, and preview what a scan will do.
  4. You confirm and your files arrive.

Next is Stripe's payment page. Pay, and we email you a link to set your code up: choose what it does, check it, confirm, and the files to print are in your inbox.

Some people have nowhere to point it

The code is half the problem.

A restaurant doesn't have a menu page worth linking to. A family arranging a funeral doesn't have a website. An estate agent isn't going to build one for every listing.

So we'll make the page as well. $99, once: your code, plus a real page at helmqr.com/oak-street-house.

Move it to a different address and the printed code follows it, because the code never pointed at the address in the first place.

Same indirection. Same refusal to bill you every month.
