Frequently asked questions
Which kinds of QR codes can QRLY create?
Five: URL (a web address), Text (any text), WiFi (network name, password and security type), vCard (name, phone, email and company) and Email (address, subject and message).
What does a WiFi QR code contain?
The network name, the security type (WPA/WPA2, WEP or Open), the password unless the network is open, and whether the network is hidden. Phones that support WiFi QR codes can join the network from it.
What does a vCard QR code contain?
A contact card (vCard 3.0) with the first and last name, and the phone, email and company when you fill them in.
What does an Email QR code do?
It holds a mailto: link with the address, and the subject and message when you add them, so scanning it opens a new email in the mail app.
Do I have to type https:// in front of a URL?
No. When a URL does not start with http:// or https://, QRLY adds https:// for you.
Which languages does QRLY support?
Nine: English, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin America), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese and Turkish. Pick one under UI Settings → Language.
Which language does QRLY start in?
The one you last picked. The first time, QRLY tries to match the language of your Figma setup and starts in English when it cannot.
How do I see the welcome tour again?
Open the main menu, go to Info and click Show Onboarding.
Where do I report a problem or suggest a feature?
Open the main menu, go to Info and click Feedback. It opens QRLY's page in the Figma Community.
Is the placed QR code editable?
Yes. QRLY builds it from SVG, so it arrives as vector layers you can recolor and scale without losing sharpness. A logo comes in as its own layer named Logo, grouped with the code.
Which export formats are there?
SVG and PNG, from 128 to 2048 px. Both include your colors, shape and logo.
Does a transparent background carry over?
Yes. With Transparent background on in the Style tab, the placed code, the SVG and the PNG all leave out the background.
Where does the placed code go?
To the middle of what you are looking at on the current page. QRLY selects it and zooms to it so you can move it into place.
Will a styled QR code always scan?
Not always. Logos, low contrast, missing margins and very wide dot spacing all make a code harder to read, so test every styled code with a phone before you publish it.
Which settings are the safest?
QRLY's defaults with Square modules: a black code on white, Medium error correction, the quiet zone on and no logo. With a logo, use High error correction.
Which logo files can I use?
PNG, JPG and SVG. An SVG logo is recolored to the foreground color; a PNG or JPG keeps its own colors.
How big is the logo?
Its size is measured in QR modules: 3×3, 5×5 or 7×7, set with the Logo Size slider. The modules under the logo are left out, so the logo never sits on top of the pattern.
What is error correction?
Extra data that lets a scanner read a QR code even when part of it is covered or damaged. QRLY offers Low (7%), Medium (15%), Quartile (25%) and High (30%); the percentage is roughly how much of the code can be lost.
What is the quiet zone?
The empty border around a QR code that helps a scanner find it. QRLY keeps a border two modules wide unless you turn on No quiet zone (margin).
