Country breakdown on dynamic QRs
- Dashboard shows top countries with flags next to Device and Browser.
- Recent scans table includes country flag and ISO code.
Changelog
What's new in QRForge.
Country geo tracking (self-hosted)
- Scanner IPs resolve to country codes via a bundled GeoLite2-derived database — no external service.
- Private and loopback IPs are skipped automatically.
Landing page + SEO polish
- Home page now has a hero, feature grid, use cases, and how-it-works section — the generator stays one scroll away.
- robots.txt, sitemap.xml, Open Graph card, per-page canonical URLs.
Scannable raster output
- The PNG/JPEG/WebP pipeline now renders real QR patterns. Earlier releases produced valid image files but the pattern was blank — switched from resvg to sharp/librsvg which handles qr-code-styling's SVG clipPath refs correctly.
Bulk CSV generation
- Upload a CSV on the dashboard and download a ZIP of generated QR codes.
- Up to 500 rows per batch. Each row counts against your monthly quota.
Dynamic QR styling editor
- Each dynamic QR can now have its own design — shapes, colors, gradients, logo.
- Live preview and per-format download on the detail page.
Plans + admin
- Plan tiers enforced at the API: monthly quota per user, rate limit clamped to plan max.
- /admin page to change user plans while billing is still being wired.
- Key creation form now shows the plan's max rate so no values get silently clamped.
Dynamic QRs with scan tracking
- Create short URLs that encode to a QR — edit the destination anytime without reprinting.
- Public redirector logs each scan (device, browser, referrer) with salted IP hashing.
Self-serve dashboard
- Email/password signup with scrypt-hashed passwords and HMAC-signed session cookies.
- Create and revoke API keys, see monthly usage, status breakdown, change password.
Paid API

- API key auth, Redis-backed rate limiting, usage logging.
Free generator
- Client-side QR generator with shapes, colors, gradients, and logo upload.
