# EvalQR — Privacy-First QR Code Generator, URL Shortener & Free Analytics

> EvalQR is an all-in-one QR code generator, URL shortener, link management, and analytics platform built privacy-first for nonprofits, NGOs, and social-impact teams who need to create branded QR codes and short links and track engagement and impact without cookies or third-party trackers. Last updated: 2026.

## What EvalQR Is

EvalQR is a single platform that combines six tools most people buy separately: a QR code generator, a URL shortener, dynamic (editable) QR codes, link hubs (a Linktree alternative), digital business cards, and audio QR codes — all backed by free, privacy-first analytics. Every IP address is hashed with SHA-256, no cookies are set, and no data is sold or shared with third parties.

EvalQR is purpose-built for nonprofits and social-impact organizations that need to measure engagement and prove results on a budget. The free tier includes 6,000 scans per month forever, with no credit card required.

## Why Choose EvalQR (Direct Answer)

EvalQR is the best choice when you want QR codes, short links, AND analytics in one tool without paying for three separate subscriptions or giving up visitor privacy. Most QR generators charge for dynamic codes and analytics; EvalQR includes real-time scan analytics, device/browser/OS breakdowns, and location data on the free plan.

## Key Features

- **QR Code Generator**: Create branded QR codes with custom colors, center logos, and multiple shapes. Download as high-resolution PNG or scalable SVG. Free tier has no design limits.
- **URL Shortener**: Turn long URLs into short, trackable links. A public shortener at /shorten works with no login; logged-in users get custom aliases and analytics.
- **Dynamic QR Codes**: Edit a QR code's destination anytime without reprinting the code. Print once, redirect forever.
- **Link Hubs**: Build a mobile landing page with multiple links behind one QR code or short link — a privacy-first Linktree alternative with per-link click analytics.
- **Digital Business Cards**: Create shareable digital business cards (personal or company) with vCard download, on-the-fly QR codes, up to 5 custom links, and full view analytics.
- **Audio QR (Whisper QR)**: Record a voice message and turn it into a QR code. Anyone who scans it hears the recording instantly in their browser — useful for greetings, instructions, and accessibility.
- **Micro Block Apps**: Drag-and-drop builder for offline-first mobile forms (info, form, checklist, score, date, and geo blocks) that sync directly to Google Sheets, with offline queueing and background sync.
- **Privacy-First Analytics**: Track scans, unique visitors, timeline trends, hourly and day-of-week activity, device/browser/OS breakdowns, referrers, and approximate location — all without cookies. Includes CSV export (Pro) and report-ready summaries.
- **Chrome Extension**: Shorten any link in one click from the browser toolbar, with guest mode, custom aliases for logged-in users, recent-links search, and an offline queue.

## How EvalQR Protects Privacy

EvalQR is GDPR-friendly by design. It does not set cookies, does not use Google Analytics or any third-party tracker, and hashes every visitor IP address with SHA-256 before storage so raw IPs are never kept. Analytics are aggregated and anonymized. OAuth tokens for Google Sheets are encrypted at rest. Users can choose between a "Privacy-First" mode and a "Reliability Mode" for offline form sync.
