Dynamic QR codes

Dynamic QR code generator

Print a code once. Then change what it opens, watch the scans come in and set the rules, all from one dashboard.

Building a code needs no sign-up. Your first download starts a $1.00 trial for 7 days, then $39.99 every 4 weeks until you cancel.

How a dynamic code works

Three parts. Only the first one is printed, so the other two can change.

  1. 01

    The printed code

    Holds one short link, such as qrdot.org/Fk3a9Q. That link is fixed for the life of the code.

  2. 02

    The short link

    Looks up where the code should go right now, checks your rules and counts the scan. It takes a fraction of a second.

  3. 03

    Your destination

    A website, a PDF, a contact card or a page of links. Point it somewhere new in the dashboard whenever you need to.

Static or dynamic?

A static code is a finished object: the content is baked into the dots. A dynamic code is a pointer you keep control of. Here is what that changes, including the one thing a static code does better.

    Dynamic code
    Stays small: it holds a short link
  • Works without an active plan
    Static code
    Yes

    No, it shows an inactive page

Straight answers

About editing, expiry, scanning and price.

What does a dynamic QR code generator do?
It makes codes that hold a short link instead of your content, and gives you a dashboard to decide where that link goes. Because the link is ours to resolve, the code can be edited, counted, scheduled, limited or locked after it is printed.
Can a dynamic QR code be changed once it is printed?
What it opens can change as often as you like: a new web address, a new PDF, new contact details. The printed pattern itself cannot change, so new colors or a new logo only apply to codes you download afterwards. Details on editing after printing.
Do dynamic QR codes expire?
Not by themselves. A code keeps working for as long as the plan on the account is active. It stops when the subscription ends, or earlier if you give it an end date or a scan limit.
Are dynamic codes harder to scan?
Usually the opposite. A static code that holds a long web address needs many more dots than one that holds a short link, so a dynamic code can be printed smaller and still scan reliably.
What does it cost?
There is no no-cost plan. Designing a code and seeing the preview is open to anyone; downloading starts a 7-day trial for $1.00, which renews at $39.99 every 4 weeks until you cancel. Quarterly ($89.99) and annual ($239.99) plans are cheaper per month. See plans.
