Description
QR Generator Factory provides a similar user interface to our popular QR Generator Pro app, but rather than designing single QR codes, QR Generator Factory is a batch processing QR Factory - allowing you to design your QR code and then creates 100's of QR codes in seconds. Simply use an un-headered CSV file and let QR Generator Factory do the rest!
QR Generator Factory allows you to enter as much data as you like, and offers many different content types such as Text, Email, Calendar events (now including the ability to import an ICS file), Wi-Fi networks, URL, Phone numbers including FaceTime), SMS (including WhatsApp), Social profiles (Facebook, X, Instagram, Linkedin, TikTok, Gab, Pinterest, YouTube, Reddit, Snapchat, Threads & many more), Contact cards (vCard and MeCard - now including the option to import a vCard) and Payments (SEPA, UPI, PayPal Me, PayPal, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, Cardano, Dash, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero, MultiVersX/Elrond and Ripple). For the URL content type we also offer the ability to shorten the URLs making the QR less complicated.
QR Generator Factory offers a huge range of tools to design your QR code, including the ability to set the fill color of the QR to a solid colour, a linear gradient, a radial gradients or even clip images as the QR fill (in a recent update you can even change the hue, saturation and brightness of the clipped image fill)! QR Generator Factory also allows you to set shadows in any color and set the background to a solid colour, image or gradient (or have it transparent).
QR Generator Factory also offers a range of different & unique pixel types from normal to grid, dots, drops, icicles, adventure style, shattered glass and loads more and more added all the time in updates!
QR Generator Factory allows you to add your logo to the QR code and choose its size and position on the QR, it also adds some advanced features such as the ability to set the border of the logo, this uses smart paths to draw around even complex shapes - the borders can be automatically set to your background color or you can choose whatever colour you wish it to be! In recent updates we have made further design tools - now you can change the brightness, saturation and hue of the logo so you can do more designing in QR Generator Factory.
QR Generator Factory, includes the ability to set correction levels, color spaces of RGB, CMYK and Grayscale - and in a recent update it allows you to set safe margins and allows you to add text (or captions) to the bottom of your QR code, with a full suite of options such as what color you wish the text to be, what size and what font - it event allows you to change the positioning on both the x and y axis!
QR Generator Factory has a QR verifier built right in so if you see 'QR Code Verified' you know the QR can be read!
You can export your QR code in EPS (Vector), TIFF, PNG, PDF (Vector) or you can copy to the clipboard or drag the QR onto another app - or print right from the app.
QR Generator Factory has a built in QR reader so you can read the data from an existing QR code so you can design a new one!
Unlike our main competitor we can export EPS with gradients and can export PDF with gradient and transparency.
In 2023 we introduced Dynamic QRs which allow you to modify the URL at a later date, this means you can reuse a QR without the need to recreate it again, print your marketing with a QR before the final link is ready, or fix a mistake in a URL without having to change your QR. Then in 5.2.5 we introduced QR scan tracking to dynamic URLs - so you can now track who scans your URL and Social QR codes by using Dynamic QRs! In 2024 we enhanced this further with advanced tracking, now you can check how many people have scanned your QR code in the last day, week, month, year or all time, and what countries the scans came from.
QR Generator Factory also allows you to view and edit the raw data of your QR codes.

Ratings and Reviews
Crashes on launch. Fake CMYK
For some reasons my review dissapeared. Since 5.7.0 it crashes on launch.
This app is not a proper mac app (escape key/enter doesn't work to dismiss panels etc), dragging image doesn't work to desktop/download folder only to other apps. CMYK is with retargetting from RGB to you won't get proper black color. Developer did not try to select color from other color palettes on the color picker. On top it's being released almost daily with numerous bugs. You can see version changes. This app should be considered as beta as it's not stable. It crashes for me since version 5.7.0 On top is ultra slow and the QR codes cannot be scanned with cheaper dumb phones.
Developer Response ,
Each setting window can now be dismissed with escape since multiple versions ago, CMYK colors can now be selected from the color pickers due to a big rework on how we store color values and now you can have absolute black on the bitmap exports, we had a big performance update in 5.7.5 which should resolve your slow concerns. QR's vary, it all depends on how much content you use, what colors you use how big the logo is (how many pixels are obsured) - If you are using a long URL we would suggest using our dynamic QR option to reduce the size of the QR, we'd suggest being careful with logo sizes and colors (i.e not having fill colors too similar to background colors for example). The built in verifier is fussy so it will often say not verified when a multitude of high end phones will still be able to scan it, as it verifies with all devices in mind.
The drag option is intended for dragging into other applications - however after considering your feedback we have decided to implement this feature and it will be in the next version:)
If you would mind sending a crash report to contact[at]runecats.com we can take a look, we have also had one other user with a crashing issue so maybe they are related.
What happened?
Was working great one week ago and now crashes on launch.
Developer Response ,
Sorry to hear it's started crashing for you, please let us know if the crashing issue is now resolved for you, and if it is we hope you can adjust your review in time to reflect how the app is now! If it still an issue for you then please send a crash report to contact[at]runecats.com so we can rectify this issue as quickly as possible!
Won't even launch on my 2019 Macbook Pro
The crash report you provided is for the "QR Generator Factory" application (version 5.3.8, build version 6.0.10) on a macOS 14.2.1 system. The application crashed due to a SIGABRT signal, which is typically an indication that the application itself has detected an anomaly and terminated deliberately.
Key points from the crash report:
- **Crashed Thread**: The crash occurred in the main thread (thread 0).
- **Exception Type**: SIGABRT, which usually indicates that the application has triggered an abort signal to itself, often due to internal errors or failed assertions.
- **Application Specific Information**: The report specifically mentions `abort() called`. This suggests that the application decided to terminate itself due to an unhandled exception or serious issue.
- **Stack Trace Analysis**: The stack trace for the main thread shows the sequence of calls leading to the crash. It appears the crash happened during a UI operation (likely related to setting a value on an NSTextField).
A closer look at the stack trace reveals the following sequence:
1. A setter method (`setStringValue:`) is called on an NSTextField object.
2. This leads to an assertion failure within the AppKit framework.
3. The application terminates due to this failure.
To resolve this issue:
1. **Code Review**: Review the part of your code that interacts with NSTextField, particularly where `setStringValue:` is called. Ensure the value being set is valid and the NSTextField is properly initialized and not nil.
2. **Exception Handling**: Implement proper exception handling around the code that's causing the crash. This can prevent the entire application from crashing due to issues with a single component.
3. **Debugging**: Run the application in a debug environment and reproduce the crash to get more detailed logs or to inspect the application state at the time of the crash.
4. **Update Check**: Ensure that both the macOS and the application are updated to their latest versions, as updates often include bug fixes.
5. **Contact Developer Support**: If you're unable to resolve the issue, consider contacting the developer of the "QR Generator Factory" for support, especially if it's a third-party application. The crash might be due to an internal bug in the application.
6. **System Check**: Since the crash report includes a lot of system information, make sure that there are no system-level issues contributing to the crash. This includes checking for sufficient memory and storage, as well as scanning for any system file corruption.
Developer Response ,
We've been making some big under-the-hood changes, look out for 5.3.9 which is awaiting approval from Apple which should hopefully resolve your issue. We appreciate your patience while we've been working on this.
