Encryption and decryption are identical in Free and Pro. Pro just adds more ways to create codes: bigger splits, the Discreet style, PDF export. A friend on Free can always scan back what you made with Pro.
Free already uses the same on-device, end-to-end encryption
Pro does. Same primitives, same security guarantees, no
asterisks. Pro is what you reach for when the secret matters
enough to want more control over how it’s split, styled,
and shared.
From 2 pieces to 10.Spread it as wide as you trust.
Free splits a secret into 2 pieces.
Pro takes that up to 10, and lets you set
how many of them must come back together to unlock it.
Three-of-five, six-of-ten, any combination that fits how
much risk you can stomach.
One secret, split into ten codes. Choose how many it
takes to unlock.
More pieces means more places to hide them. One with a
partner, one in a safe, one in a sealed envelope at the
office. And a higher bar before anyone can put the secret
back together.
Branded or Discreet.Which to use.
Free & Pro
Branded. The friendly default.
Carries the Qryo wordmark and a scan caption. When
someone points an iPhone camera at one, the message
decrypts on the spot. No need to install Qryo first,
no account, no setup. Made to be handed to anyone.
Pro only
Discreet. Invisible by design.
Plain black-and-white with no Qryo branding.
Indistinguishable from any other QR in the wild. Only
the Qryo app can read it. As a bonus, dropping the
branding frees up roughly twice as much room per code,
so longer messages fit and splits can use fewer pieces.
One PDF.Your choice of layout.
When you split a message into several QR codes, the PDF
export bundles every piece into one print-ready file. Pick
the layout that fits how you’ll use it.
One QR per page.
Best when each code lives somewhere different. Separate
envelopes, separate people, separate vaults. Easy to
hand out without revealing the others.
All codes on one page.
Best when you’ll archive the set together. A
single sheet in a safe, a file folder, or a binder.
Compact and easy to scan back in one sitting.
Pro only
Every Qryo reads every Qryo code, Free included. Pro
doesn’t add a decoder. It adds more ways to make them.
Whatever you generate with Pro, a friend on Free can scan
back exactly the same way.
