QR codes for marketers & agencies / Early access
qrtofu turns every link into the smallest standard QR code there is, so it prints cleaner, sits better in your design and reads from farther away. Then brand it, scan-test it, track it, and change where it points long after it's printed.

What's inside
01Smaller codes
A phone reads a QR code square by square. Most generators pack long links into dense 25×25 or 33×33 grids. qrtofu links are short and uppercase, so they fit the smallest grid there is: 21×21. Printed at the same size, every square is bigger, so the code reads from farther away and holds up to blur and shaky hands.

Each view is what a camera sees of the same printed size: fewer pixels the farther you stand, plus a little lens blur. In our separate simulation with the open-source ZXing decoder (100 tilted, blurred trials per size), a 21×21 code read from about 14% farther than a 25×25 short link and about 40% farther than a 33×33 link with tracking tags. Real phone cameras vary.
02Logo, styling & SVG
Colors, module shapes, corner styles and your logo. Every change is scan-tested on the spot for distance, blur, low light and contrast, so nothing reaches the printer unproven. Export a clean SVG, PNG or PDF with the quiet zone built in. Try it.

Logo
With a logo, the code steps up to 25×25 with high error correction so the logo can't break the scan. Still smaller than most generators.
03Adjustable links
Every qrtofu code is a short link you control. Swap the destination when the menu changes, the promo ends or someone spots a typo, and the printed code stays exactly the same. High limits on codes and edits mean you're never rationing.

04Analytics
See scans by day, placement, device and city. UTM tags are added on the redirect, so every scan shows up properly in your own analytics without cramming tracking into the printed code. And if you ever cancel, nothing goes dark: codes keep redirecting, scans keep counting, and your history stays yours to view and export.

05Multi-code campaigns
Give the poster, the flyer, the packaging and each mailer its own code under one campaign, all pointing where you want. Then see which placement actually earns its scans. Need hundreds? Create them from a spreadsheet: one per store, per rep, per variant.
06White label for agencies
Run every client in its own workspace. Dashboards, scheduled reports and approval links carry your agency's logo and colors. When the engagement wraps, transfer the codes to the client's corporate account, and nothing printed breaks.

Client handoff
You build, brand and test the codes in the client's own workspace.
They see the design, the scan check and the destination, then approve before print.
Transfer everything when the engagement ends. Codes and history move intact.
Partially white-label, on purpose
Your brand goes on everything your client looks at. The short domain stays ours, because a five-character domain is what keeps every code at 21×21. A longer custom domain would make your client's codes bigger and harder to scan.
07Personal brands Coming soon
Contact-card QR codes cram your whole vCard into the pattern and come out a dense 57×57. A qrtofu link stays 21×21 and still opens your details. The business-card helper will size and test the code for a standard 3.5 × 2 in card. Next comes an online business card, so the code you print never has to change.
Same size, same card. One has squares more than twice as big.

Questions
QR codes have a compact mode for capital letters and numbers that stores each character in less space. One lowercase letter switches it off and pushes the code to a bigger grid. Domains don't care about case, and our short codes don't either, so someone typing the link by hand in lowercase still gets there.
At the same printed size, fewer squares means bigger squares, and bigger squares read from farther away and through more blur. That's why barcode standards size QR codes by square size. In our simulation, the gain was about 14% more distance than a typical short link and about 40% more than a long link with tracking tags. Real phones vary, which is why we scan-test every design.
Yes. A logo covers part of the pattern, so codes with logos step up to 25×25 with high error correction to make up for it. That's still smaller than what most generators make without a logo, and every design is scan-tested before you export.
Your printed codes keep redirecting to wherever you last pointed them, scans keep counting, and your history stays available to view and export. Printed materials outlive subscriptions, and your codes should too.
White label covers everything your clients see: dashboards, reports and approval links carry your brand. The codes themselves use our five-character domain, because a longer domain would make every code bigger and harder to scan.
SVG, PNG and PDF, with the required quiet zone built in and the minimum print size noted, so the print shop has everything they need.
The Sandbox is free for trying things out. Its codes live on a separate domain, so spam made with free accounts can never hurt the reputation of the domain your printed codes use.
