Static vs Dynamic QR Codes
Both encode a link a phone can scan. The difference is what happens next: a static code is fixed at print time, while a dynamic code uses an editable redirect you control — so you can change the destination and measure every scan.

What is a dynamic QR code?
A dynamic QR code stores a short redirect URL instead of your final link. You can change where it points anytime — even after printing — and every scan is tracked.
What’s the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?
A static code encodes the destination directly and can’t be changed once printed. A dynamic code uses an editable redirect, so you can update the destination and see scan analytics.
Can I edit a QR code after printing?
Yes — that’s the whole point of dynamic QR codes. Update the destination from your dashboard and existing printed codes instantly point to the new link.
Can I create a QR code for free?
Yes. Static QR codes are free to create, with no expiry. You only upgrade when you need dynamic links, analytics, branding or scale.
What types of QR codes can I create?
Website, PDF, vCard, Wi-Fi, digital menu, form, app link, email, SMS, phone, location, event and social media — and more on the way.
Can I add my logo to a QR code?
Yes. Add your logo, brand colors, custom module shapes and a CTA frame, with a live preview as you design.
