QR codes

Every link ships with a scannable QR code automatically — no separate step, no separate tool.

Every link's qrUrl field (returned by create and visible on get) points at a real, cacheable image — not a redirect to a third-party QR generator.

  • No authentication required — the QR image is as public as the short link it encodes.
  • 512×512px, served with a one-year immutable Cache-Control — safe to embed directly in a flyer, poster, or app without re-fetching it.
  • 404 if the short code doesn't exist or has been deactivated.
  • Watermarked on the Free plan, watermark-free on every paid tier — automatic based on the link owner's plan, not something you request.

The image is generated once per short code and cached in R2 — the first request after a link is created compiles it, every request after that is a cache hit.

This endpoint always renders Jot's own default style. The richer style picker (square / dots / "trek" presets, custom colors, export resolution) shown in the dashboard's share panel is a client-side feature for human use there, not a parameter this API endpoint accepts.
