Your QR code never dies
You print a QR code on menus, packaging, business cards, a storefront window. Reprinting costs real money. So we make one promise and we put it in writing: a printed Qrindo code keeps working.
If you are putting our URL on 500,000 boxes, you are entitled to know what happens in year five — including in the cases that are bad for us.
The promise
- Redirects never stop because of billing. If your plan lapses or you downgrade, existing codes keep redirecting to their destinations. Serving a redirect does not depend on your plan, by design.
- No ads, ever. We never place an ad, interstitial or promo page between a scan and your destination. Not on free plans, not on lapsed plans, not anywhere.
- Only you can delete a code. Codes are deleted when you delete them, or when you delete your workspace. We do not expire, recycle or deactivate codes as a billing measure.
- Your data leaves with you. Links and destinations export to CSV, and QR artwork downloads as print-ready SVG, PNG and PDF, on every plan. No lock-in by hostage.
What actually happens if you stop paying
- Existing codes
- Keep redirecting, unchanged.
- Scan history
- Kept. Paid analytics depth pauses until you are back.
- New codes and paid features
- Paused.
- Deletion
- Never happens automatically because of billing.
Questions people ask before they print
Do Qrindo QR codes expire?
No. A Qrindo QR code has no expiry date. It keeps resolving until you delete it or delete your workspace. Codes are not expired, recycled or deactivated as a billing measure.
What happens to my printed QR codes if I stop paying?
They keep redirecting to their destinations, unchanged. Serving a redirect does not depend on your plan. Creating new codes and paid analytics depth pause until you return; nothing is deleted.
Does Qrindo show ads on redirects?
No. Qrindo never places an advertisement, interstitial or promotional page between a scan and your destination, on any plan including the free one. The redirect path carries nothing but the redirect.
Can Qrindo change where my QR code points?
Only you and the people you give access to can change a destination. Qrindo does not repoint customer codes. The exception is a code serving content that is illegal or breaches the terms, which is removed rather than redirected elsewhere.
Can I export my QR codes and data out of Qrindo?
Yes, on every plan. Links and destinations export to CSV, and artwork downloads as print-ready SVG, PNG and PDF. Vector export means you can reproduce a code at any size without Qrindo.
Can I use my own domain so the printed code does not depend on Qrindo?
Yes. Custom domains let the printed code encode a URL on a domain you own. That is the strongest form of portability there is: if you ever leave, you re-point the domain and every printed code follows you, with no reprint.
What happens to my printed codes if Qrindo shuts down?
A code printed on a qrindo.com short URL depends on Qrindo continuing to serve it, and no company can honestly promise otherwise. That is precisely why custom domains exist and why export is unrestricted: print on a domain you own, keep a CSV of your destinations, and you are never dependent on us in the first place. For a large print run, we recommend exactly that.
What if Qrindo changes its pricing later?
Pricing can change, and a price change never breaks an existing printed code, because redirects do not depend on a plan. The worst case for a lapsed or unhappy customer is a paused dashboard, never a dead code.
Why we put this in writing
The most common story in this industry is a printed code that stopped working when a trial ended, sometimes with ads injected on top of it. We think that practice is the reason people distrust QR platforms. This policy is our answer, and you can hold us to it.
