For print shops: check QR codes before the run

When a printed code stops working, the customer often calls the print shop first. A quick check of the files before the run shows you and the customer where each code really goes.

Free, no sign-up. The image stays on your device.

Check many files at once

Choose up to 200 images at once: proofs exported as PNG or JPG, photos or screenshots. QRInspect reads each one and gives a CSV report with the file name, the code type and what the code stores, or “no code found”.

Images are decoded in the browser and aren’t uploaded, so customer files stay on your computer. For an address that looks like a short link, check that code on its own and press “Show the full route”.

What to tell the customer

  1. “Direct route”: the code stores the page address itself and works as long as their page does.
  2. “Middleman ahead”: the code goes through a QR service or a short link and works only while that service forwards it, which often depends on a paid plan.
  3. “The route doesn’t open”: the final page doesn’t answer. Better to sort this out before printing.

Make the codes yourself

If a customer brings only addresses, paste them as a table and get one code per row, with labels or sequential numbers. A paid plan downloads SVG, vector PDF and PNG for every code plus a print sheet: Lifetime is $39 once, Lifetime Pro is $69 once with no ads.

What we don’t do

QRInspect doesn’t rate links as safe or unsafe and doesn’t certify print quality. It shows facts: the stored address, any middlemen on the way and the final page. A test print scanned with an ordinary phone is still the final check.

Questions

Can I check PDF proofs?

Not directly. Export the page as PNG or JPG, or take a screenshot, and check that image.

Are there limits?

Up to 200 images per check, each up to 25 MB.

Do barcodes work too?

Yes. The checker reads QR codes and many barcode types, such as EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 128 and Data Matrix.
