What is a Dynamic QR Code?

A dynamic QR code lets you change the destination URL after printing. Unlike static QR codes, you can update content, track scans, and customize the design.

Dynamic QR codes use a short redirect URL, so the destination can be changed without reprinting the code.

Dynamic vs Static QR Codes

| Feature | Static | Dynamic | |---------|--------|--------| | Edit destination | No | Yes | | Track scans | No | Yes | | Update content | No | Yes | | Custom design | Limited | Full | | File size | Larger | Smaller |
