Static vs dynamic QR codes

A dynamic code holds a short link that the service controls, which then forwards to you. A static code holds your destination itself.

Print it right

01

Test on two phones

Scan the file with an iPhone camera and an Android camera, from the distance people will actually stand.

02

Keep a quiet margin

Leave clear space around the code, about four dots wide. Scanners use it to find the edges.

03

Print it big enough

At least 2 cm (0.8 in) across for anything held in the hand. For signs, about one tenth of the scanning distance.

04

Dark on light

A dark code on a light background reads on every phone. Light codes on dark backgrounds trip up older scanners.

Questions

Something else? Call us at (919) 444-2005.

Do these codes expire?

No. The destination is stored in the code itself, so there is nothing on our side that can expire. A code keeps working for as long as the page, number or network it points to exists.

Can I track scans?

Not through us, because there is no redirect to count them. Add UTM tags to your link (for example ?utm_source=flyer) and scans show up as visits in Google Analytics.

Can I edit a code after printing?

No. A printed code can't be changed. If the destination might move, point the code at a page on your own site that you control, and update that page instead.

Is it really free?

Yes. No account, no trial, no watermark and no limit on how many codes you make.

Do you store my data?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Your links, Wi-Fi passwords and logos are never uploaded.

Which format should I send my printer?

SVG. It stays sharp at any size. Use PNG for websites, email and documents, and pick 4096 px if a printer insists on PNG.

Need a website your QR codes can point to?

We design, build and look after websites for small businesses. Tell us what you're working on.
