A link you can manage
What is a dynamic QR code?
A dynamic QR code contains a short redirect link. You edit the destination behind that link, so the same printed pattern can open a different web page.
It is useful for anything that might change after printing: a restaurant menu, product information, an event page or a brochure. A static code stores the final address directly, so changing that address means making another code.

How to create a
dynamic QR code
Set it up before the artwork goes to print. Test the finished code with a phone, then keep managing it from the same account.
- 01 / SET UP
Add your destination
Create a free account. Choose a code type, select dynamic, and enter the website URL or content you want to share. Give it a name you will recognise later.
- 02 / DESIGN
Make it fit your brand
Choose colours and module shapes. Add your logo if your plan includes it. Keep strong contrast and a clear border so a camera can read the code.
- 03 / PRINT
Download and scan a sample
Export PNG for everyday artwork or SVG for a size you can scale. Check the actual print on different phones before ordering the whole batch.
- 04 / KEEP IT CURRENT
Update without starting again
Edit the saved destination when something changes. New scans go to the updated link without a reprint. Check the destination on a phone after saving.
Start with what you need to share
Give every printed
code a useful job.
Generate QR codes for product packaging, leaflets and other printed materials. Link to useful information, a video or your latest offer. Tell people what they will open before they scan.

Sample data. Scan totals are visits through a link, not completed reviews or purchases.
A scan is a visit, not a sale. Repeat scans can come from one person. Use your website's analytics to follow what happens next.
Know what is recorded. Reports include time, device and browser. Scan-history retention depends on your plan. We do not collect GPS coordinates.
Need a simple, fixed link?
Try the free
QR code generator.
Paste a URL or text, choose a colour and pattern, then download your code. No sign-up is needed for this static generator.
This tool creates static codes. The content is fixed in the image. For an editable destination and scan analytics, create a dynamic code in your account instead.
I need an editable codeThis one is static - the address is inside the pattern, so it can never be changed and no scans are counted. Create a free account to create editable codes and see scan activity. Document hosting and design features depend on your plan. Check the current inclusions.
Choose before you print
Static or dynamic?
It depends on the job.
Use static for content that will stay put. Choose dynamic when the destination may change or you want a scan history.
For a permanent label, check the service terms as carefully as the design. A dynamic code needs the redirect service and its destination to remain available.
Understand expiry and service limits| You need to | Static | Dynamic |
|---|---|---|
| Share a web address | Yes | Yes |
| Replace the encoded destination | Make a new code | Edit the saved link |
| View scans in this dashboard | No | Yes |
| Keep a redirect service running | Not for a direct URL | Yes |

A custom QR code that still scans
Dark modules on a light background are a useful starting point. Leave a clear quiet zone around the code and avoid placing a large logo over it. SVG keeps the edges sharp when your designer resizes the artwork. DENSO WAVE explains the clear margin a QR code needs.

QR codes for estate agents
Put QR codes on estate agent boards, window cards and brochures. Link to property listings, update destinations after printing and compare scans by placement.
QR codes for hotels
Create QR codes for hotel guest information, room service menus and feedback. Keep printed room cards useful when your opening times, menus or links change.
Event QR code
Create an event QR code for registration, programmes or calendar details. Choose an editable website link or a static calendar code, then test before printing.
QR codes for takeaways
Create a takeaway QR code for your menu or existing ordering page. Make a free printable menu sign, plan bag inserts and update dynamic links after printing.
QR codes for cafes
Use QR codes for cafes to share menus, guest Wi-Fi and loyalty links. Create a free printable menu sign and choose useful spots on counters, tables and cups.

Dynamic QR code
questions, answered.
Still choosing the right type? Our QR code guides cover editing, expiry and print checks in more detail.
Built and operated by SEO Moves Ltd. Read how we handle your data.
Can I create a dynamic QR code for free?
Yes. The Free plan includes 3 dynamic QR codes. Create an account to manage the destination and view scans. The public generator on this page makes static codes instead. Check the plan table for storage and design features.
Can I change the link after printing?
Yes, if you created the code as dynamic. Open that code in your account and save a new destination. Existing printed copies keep working through the same short link. You cannot rewrite the data inside a static pattern.
Do dynamic QR codes expire?
The pattern has no timer, but the service behind it can stop. Account status, an expiry setting, a scan limit or an unavailable destination can interrupt a dynamic code. Paid service has a configured grace period of 14 days. Check what can stop a code working.
Can I turn an existing static code into a dynamic one?
No. A static QR image keeps the content originally encoded in it. If you own its destination URL, you can change that website or set up a redirect there. Otherwise, create a new dynamic code and replace the print.
Which files can I download for printing?
PNG works in most everyday design tools. SVG is a vector file, so it stays sharp when resized. Download the finished design, print a sample at the intended size and scan it before approving a large order.
Do people need an app to scan my code?
Most current phones can scan a QR code with their camera. A web destination needs an internet connection, including dynamic redirects. Some static formats, such as plain text, can be read without opening a website.
Does tracking tell me who scanned the code?
No. A scan report is not a list of named customers. It shows recorded activity such as time, device and browser. It cannot prove that someone bought something, and repeated visits can come from the same person.
Your code is downloading.
Want an editable version? Create an account to save the destination as a dynamic QR code and track its scans.
Editable codes have a different pattern to the file you just took, so download the new one before you print.
