qrs.ly QR Code Not Working or Expired?
We can't revive your qrs.ly code. Only QRStuff can switch it back on.
If your phone shows a qrs.ly address when you scan, the code holds a QRStuff short link, not your own address.

What happened to your code
- qrs.ly is QRStuff's redirect domain: a code downloaded from QRStuff without signing up held a qrs.ly link, not the address typed in. Source: QRBench review of QRStuff
- QRStuff says codes made without an account expire after 7 days, and codes made on a free account expire after 30 days. Source: QRStuff FAQ
- QRBench's no-signup test code still worked on day 8 and was dead by day 10. qrs.ly then showed a "QR Code Expired" page that suggests upgrading. Source: QRBench review of QRStuff
- A "Scan Quota Exceeded" message means a free code went over its monthly scan quota, or a paid subscription expired. Source: QRStuff FAQ
- Logging in to an expired QRStuff account shows a link to renew the subscription. QRStuff says renewing resets the account's time and scan limits. Source: QRStuff FAQ
- Free users who upgrade can ask QRStuff to move their free codes into the paid account, which lifts the limits. QRStuff does this free for up to 10 codes. Source: QRStuff FAQ
The honest fix
- Log back in. Sign in at QRStuff's account page with the account that made the code, then follow QRStuff's FAQ.
- Or replace it. Make a new code in our QR code designer. Before you download, it reads your design back the way a phone camera would, so you know the new code scans.
- Covering the old code with a sticker? Make the new code big enough to hide the old one completely. QR code size for printing gives the sizes.
ShapingQR is free, with no scan limit. Once you confirm your email, a dynamic code keeps working until you pause or delete it.
