Dynamic QR Codes: Static vs Dynamic

A dynamic QR code points to a link you control. Change where it goes, see who scanned, and never reprint. Here that's free with a free account.

Static vs dynamic QR codes

Static

The data is baked into the code itself. Fast, no account, fine for one-time use.

  • Fixed at creation
  • Can't be changed after printing
  • No scan analytics
  • No sign-up

Dynamic Free

The code points to a short link you own, so the destination is yours to edit. Free with a free account.

  • Edit the destination anytime
  • The printed code keeps working
  • Scan analytics included
  • Free account, up to five editable codes

How to make a dynamic QR code

  1. Pick a type: URL, WiFi, menu, vCard, or any other QR code type.
  2. Enter your content and generate the code.
  3. Save it to a free account. That makes it dynamic: editable anytime, with scan analytics.

Want to try a static code first? No sign-up needed. To edit it later and see scans, create a free account.
