- PrepareUse CSV columns for QR content, visible text, icons, and appearance.
- GenerateCreate one customized QR code for every row.
- ExportSave individual files or create an Avery label PDF.
- VerifyAutomatic verification checks every generated QR code and summarizes the results.
CSV Data
Customize Each QR Code
Import a CSV file to generate hundreds or thousands of unique QR codes. Each column can control encoded data, printed text, icons, colors, and other appearance settings.
- Every row can produce a different QR code
- Control content, printed text, icons, colors, and appearance
- Export SVG, PDF, PNG, and Avery label PDFs; TIFF and EPS*
- After export, scan every code automatically and add results to a verification PDF
* TIFF and EPS export are available on Mac.
Labels
Print-Ready QR Code Labels
Select an Avery or DYMO product number, or define a custom sheet layout. QR Factory 3 automatically positions every QR code and text label in a print-ready PDF.
- Supports Avery Standard templates by product number (for example: 5161, 6874, 8620, etc.)
- Supports Avery A4 templates by product number (for example: J4720, J8160, L4743, etc.)
- Supports DYMO-compatible layouts for shipping, address, and large address labels
- Customize paper size, margins, grid, spacing, and label dimensions
- Create multi-page PDFs with unique labels beneath every QR code
Design & Readability
Customize with Confidence
Customize QR codes with center icons, colors, gradients, rounded modules, and more. QR Factory 3 checks readability after every change, automatically adjusts the reliability level when needed, and warns when a design can no longer be scanned.

This customized QR code passed automatic verification and can be decoded successfully.
After the center icon was enlarged, QR Factory 3 automatically increased the reliability level until it reached the highest setting. Even with the additional error correction, the QR code can no longer be verified because too much of the code is obscured. The design must be adjusted before export.
View the raw encoded content exactly as it will be stored in the QR code. This example uses the standard WiFi QR code format.
How Readability Checking Works
QR Factory 3 automatically checks readability after every design change, including colors, gradients, rounded modules, and center icons. If a QR code can no longer be scanned reliably, an immediate warning appears before it can be exported.
When automatic adjustment is enabled, QR Factory 3 increases the reliability level as needed. If the highest level is still not enough, the design must be adjusted. Readability checking validates the QR code itself, not the website or other destination it contains.
The same verification engine verifies every QR code generated during batch jobs and summarizes the results in a detailed verification report.
Export
Export for Print and Digital
Export QR codes for digital use and professional print workflows. Choose the appropriate file format and color space for websites, packaging, labels, signage, commercial printing, and more.
- Vector Formats: SVG, PDF and EPS remain perfectly sharp at any size for print, packaging, signage, and large-format graphics.
- Bitmap Formats: PNG and TIFF provide high-quality raster output for digital publishing and production workflows.
- Color Spaces: Export using RGB, CMYK, or Grayscale to match digital displays or commercial printing requirements.
- Vector Center Icons: Vector center icons remain vector when exported using the same vector format (for example, SVG to SVG).
- Rotation: Rotate exported QR codes by 90°, 180°, or 270° to better fit packaging, labels, signs, and other layouts.

QR Factory 3 FAQ
Quick answers about direct QR codes, verification, batch production, and purchasing.
Getting Started
Are the QR codes static or dynamic?
QR Factory 3 creates direct (static) QR codes. The encoded information is written directly into the QR code itself, so there are no redirect services, hosted links, or third-party servers involved.
Do generated QR codes expire?
No. QR Factory 3 generates direct QR codes that never expire. They continue working as long as the destination itself remains available, such as a website, email address, or Wi-Fi network.
Is an account required?
No. QR Factory 3 does not require an account to create, customize, verify, or export QR codes.
Privacy
Is any of my QR code data ever uploaded?
No. QR Factory 3 generates QR codes entirely on your device. Your QR code content is never uploaded to Tunabelly or any third-party server, and no Internet connection is required to create QR codes.
Does QR Factory 3 collect analytics?
No. QR Factory 3 does not collect analytics, telemetry, advertising identifiers, or usage tracking. Your activity remains entirely on your device.
Features
What QR code types are supported?
QR Factory 3 includes built-in support for websites, Wi-Fi networks, contacts, email, phone numbers, SMS messages, locations, calendar events, cryptocurrency, SEPA payments, social media, and many other QR code formats. Built-in QR formats automatically generate properly formatted QR codes, so there’s no need to learn QR code specifications.
How can I customize my QR codes?
QR Factory 3 provides extensive customization options, including colors, gradients, rounded modules, center icons, bottom text, safe zones, reliability levels, and much more. Automatic verification continuously checks readability as you customize your QR codes.
Can I save my QR codes and edit them later?
Yes. QR Factory 3 can save your work as a QRD document, preserving the encoded content, appearance, export settings, and other options. QRD documents can be reopened later on either Mac or iPad so you can continue editing exactly where you left off.
How do I create multiple QR codes at once?
QR Factory 3 can generate thousands of unique QR codes from a CSV file. Each row creates a different QR code, while CSV columns can customize the encoded content, appearance, center icons, printed text, filenames, export settings, and much more. Batch generation is available on both Mac and iPad.
What can I customize with a CSV file?
CSV files can customize much more than the encoded content. Individual columns can control printed text, center icons, colors, gradients, reliability levels, filenames, export settings, and many other appearance options, allowing every generated QR code in a batch to be unique.
Which label products are supported?
QR Factory 3 supports Avery Standard, Avery A4, DYMO-compatible label layouts, and fully customizable label sheets. Labels can include unique QR codes with optional text beneath each code and can span multiple PDF pages.
What does verification test?
Verification checks whether a QR code can still be decoded successfully after customization. QR Factory 3 automatically tests readability as you change colors, gradients, rounded modules, center icons, bottom text, and other design options. If Automatic Reliability is enabled, QR Factory 3 increases the reliability level when needed and warns you if the QR code can no longer be verified.
Purchasing & Licensing
Does QR Factory 3 require a subscription?
No. QR Factory 3 offers flexible subscription options as well as Lifetime Access, a one-time purchase available within the app. If you prefer an upfront App Store purchase with no subscriptions or in-app purchases, QR Factory 3 Enterprise Edition is also available.
Does my purchase include both the Mac and iPad versions?
Yes. Any QR Factory 3 subscription or Lifetime Access purchase unlocks both the Mac and iPad versions. Simply sign in with the same Apple Account used for the purchase to restore access on your other device.
Does the free trial automatically become a subscription?
Yes. The free trial automatically converts to the selected subscription unless it is cancelled before the trial ends. QR Factory 3 provides links explaining how to manage or cancel the subscription. After cancelling, you can let the trial expire without purchasing or choose Lifetime Access.
Business
What’s the difference between QR Factory 3 and Enterprise Edition?
QR Factory 3 offers subscriptions and Lifetime Access for individual users. QR Factory 3 Enterprise Edition is designed for organizations and users who prefer an upfront App Store purchase with no subscriptions or in-app purchases. It also supports deployment through Apple Business Manager and Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions.
Can I deploy QR Factory 3 across multiple Macs?
Yes. QR Factory 3 Enterprise Edition is designed for business and educational deployments. It supports Apple Business Manager and deployment using your existing MDM solution, making it easy to install and manage QR Factory 3 across multiple Macs.
