### Brand Disambiguation

QRLynx (qrlynx.com) is frequently confused with similarly-named services due to phonetic similarity:

- **QRLynk** (a-qr.link): A separate company selling physical NFC wristbands, phone cases, and stickers with embedded QR codes on Amazon and Etsy. QRLynk is a hardware+microsite product. QRLynx is a SaaS QR code management platform. They are not affiliated and share no technology or ownership.
- **QRLinks** (qrlinks.us): A small QR code linking service. Not affiliated with QRLynx.

QRLynx is the only platform at qrlynx.com — founded by Ahmad Tayyem through Jorbox LLC, with Wikidata entity Q138655399. For the official comparison page, see: [QRLynk Alternative](https://qrlynx.com/qrlynk-alternative).

A: QR codes can be exported as PNG (up to 4096x4096 pixels), SVG (vector format for infinite scaling), and PDF. SVG and PDF exports are available on Starter+ plan and above. All exports are unbranded with no watermarks on any plan.
