Editorial Policy

FastQR publishes two kinds of things: QR code generators, and the written material that explains them. That material includes the guides on each tool page, the FAQ and the blog.

People act on both. Someone prints a code on a thousand flyers because a page here said it would scan at that size. Someone else shares a WiFi code with guests because a guide explained how. If we get something wrong, the reader pays for it, not us.

This policy sets out the standards we hold ourselves to, so you can judge how far to rely on what you find here.

Who is behind FastQR: the site is built and written by one person, Ashish K., founder and lead developer, based in Surat, India. The person who writes the code for a generator also writes the guide that goes with it. When this policy says “we”, it means FastQR as he operates it. You can read more on the Author and About Us pages.

FastQR aims to provide reliable QR code tools and educational content that help people create, understand and use QR codes effectively.

In practice that means two things. A tool should produce a code that scans and does what its page says it does. A guide should leave you able to finish the task without having to look elsewhere. Anything that serves neither purpose does not belong on the site.

Most visitors are not QR code specialists. They are shop owners, teachers, event organisers and people printing a code for the first time. We write for them.

Every page on FastQR is written to meet five standards.

• AccurateStatements about how QR codes work are checked against the behaviour of our own tools and the QR code standard. Statements about other platforms are checked against that platform's own help pages or by trying the steps.
• UsefulEach page answers a question that real users ask. We do not publish pages that exist only to repeat a search phrase.
• ClearWe use plain language, explain technical terms the first time they appear, and list steps in the order you perform them.
• User-focusedLimitations are stated openly. If a tool cannot do something, the page says so. For example, we tell readers that a static QR code cannot be edited once it is printed.
• Regularly reviewedA tool page is reviewed whenever the tool changes. Guides are read again when a platform they describe changes, or when a reader reports a problem.

Content goes through four stages before and after it is published.

1. Research

   A page starts from a question users ask, taken from support emails and from the searches that bring people to the site. We then use the tool ourselves and read primary sources: the QR code specification, official platform help pages and phone makers' documentation. We do not rewrite articles from other websites.

2. Writing

   The page is written by the person who built the tool. Examples use the tool's real settings and real output, such as the actual download sizes and file formats on offer.

3. Review

   Before publication, every step in a guide is followed again on the live tool. Generated codes are scanned with a phone. Numbers, links and feature descriptions are rechecked, and the text is read through once more for clarity.

4. Updating

   When a tool changes, its page is updated with it. Blog articles show their publication date so you can see how recent the information is.

We work to keep every page accurate, but mistakes happen. Platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp and YouTube also change their link formats and privacy settings without notice, which can make a correct page out of date.

When an error is reported or we find one ourselves, this is what we do:

• We check the report against the live tool or the original source.
• If the page is wrong, we correct it as soon as we reasonably can.
• If the correction changes advice a reader may already have acted on, such as a recommended print size, we note the change on the page and do not edit it silently.
• Small fixes such as spelling and formatting are made without a note.

We do not remove a page in order to hide a mistake.

Each QR code generator is tested before it is released. Testing covers ordinary input, unusual input such as very long links, the scan result on a phone, and every download format and size the tool offers.

Tool descriptions are reviewed against the tool itself, so that every feature listed on a page exists and works as described. We do not describe features that are planned but not yet built.

There are limits to what testing can cover. We cannot try every phone, scanner app, printer and paper type. A code that scans on our devices may still fail on a glossy menu under restaurant lighting. For that reason our guides ask you to scan a printed proof before ordering a full print run. The Disclaimer explains these limits in more detail.

FastQR is free to use. To cover hosting and development, the site may display advertisements through Google AdSense.

• The advertisements are selected by Google's systems. We do not choose individual ads, and an ad appearing on FastQR is not a recommendation from us.
• Advertisements do not influence editorial content. No advertiser sees a page before it is published or can ask for it to be changed.
• Ads are kept visually separate from tool controls and guide text. We do not place ads so that they look like download buttons or part of a tool.
• If FastQR ever publishes sponsored content, paid reviews or affiliate links, they will be clearly labelled as such at the top of the page.

Details of how advertising partners use cookies are in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

We think readers should know how AI tools are used on this site.

• AI-assisted tools may be used for drafting, such as outlining a guide, suggesting wording or checking grammar.
• Nothing is published directly from an AI tool. All content is reviewed and edited by a human before publication.
• During that review, content is checked for usefulness, accuracy and readability. Every instruction is tested on the live tool.
• An AI tool is not treated as a source. A fact that first appeared in an AI draft is either verified independently or removed.

Responsibility for everything published on FastQR rests with the author, however a first draft was produced.

Readers often notice problems before we do, and we want to hear about them. You can report an error, an out-of-date instruction, a tool that misbehaves or a suggestion for a new guide by emailing support@fastqr.in or using the Contact Us page.

A report is easier to act on if it includes:

• the address of the page or tool;
• what you expected and what happened;
• for scanning problems, the phone model and the link or text you encoded, if you are comfortable sharing it.

Every report is read. Confirmed errors are corrected as described under Accuracy And Corrections above.

Editorial decisions on FastQR are based on usefulness and accuracy, not on advertising relationships. That covers which tools we build, what our guides recommend and which limitations we admit to.

We do not accept payment for mentioning a product or for placing it ahead of another. When a guide names a third-party service such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram or YouTube, it is because one of our tools creates QR codes for that service. FastQR is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by those companies.

This policy may be updated from time to time, for example when we add a new kind of tool or change how content is produced. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised. The current version always applies to everything published on the site.

Questions about this policy, or about any page on the site, are welcome.
