FAQ

Quick answers about expiring links and QR codes.

How does TempQR work?

You paste a URL, choose an expiration time (and optionally set a maximum number of opens), and TempQR generates a temporary shareable link and a QR code. Once the time is up or the maximum number of opens is reached, the link automatically stops working.

Is TempQR free to use?

TempQR is free to use for links up to 24 hours. You can also use the Link Usage Limit (Max Opens) for free. If you need links that last up to 30 days, you can purchase a subscription or a single link.

What are the pricing options?

We offer three options:
• Annual Plan: $71.90/year (Save 25%).
• Monthly Plan: $7.99/month.
• Single Link: $2.99 one-time payment for one 30-day link (no subscription).

What is the "Link Usage Limit" (Max Opens) feature?

This feature allows you to set a maximum number of times a link or QR code can be opened (e.g., limit to 1, 5, 100, or any number you need). Once the limit is reached, the link dies. Link previews from bots (like WhatsApp or Viber) are not counted.

How do I unlock the 30-day duration without an account?

We hate passwords as much as you do. When you subscribe, your email address becomes your key. After payment, simply click on "Already purchased?" on the website, enter the email you used at checkout, and the 30-day option will unlock instantly on that device.

I cleared my cache or changed devices. How do I restore my access?

Your email address acts as your key — there are no passwords to remember. If you switch devices, use incognito mode, or clear your browser cache, simply click on "Already purchased?" on the main page and enter the exact email address you used at checkout. Your access will unlock instantly.

What happens after the link expires or reaches its limit?

The expiring link stops redirecting to the target URL. People clicking or scanning it will see a clean message that the link has expired or reached its maximum number of opens.

Can I edit or extend an existing expiring link?

No. TempQR is designed for privacy and simplicity. If you need to change a link, please generate a new one.

How does TempQR handle my privacy and data?

TempQR is built with a strict privacy-first approach. We do not use tracking cookies, we do not track your IP address, and we do not sell your data to third parties. Your original links remain completely hidden behind your TempQR link.

We do not track who opens your links or where they are located. If you use the "Link Usage Limit" (Max Opens) feature, we only store a simple, anonymous counter (e.g., "3 opens remaining"). We have no way of knowing who those 3 opens belong to.

Why does the link preview sometimes look different in chat apps?

Chat apps cache previews aggressively. Some apps show an image card, others show only a link. Sending the same link later may still show the old preview until the app's cache refreshes.
