QR Code for a link

Take whoever scans to a page on your site. You can engrave the address in the image, and the code works on its own, with no account and for good. Or put one of our short links behind it: the destination can change after printing, every opening is counted, and the same poster can point to this month’s promotion and to next month’s.

Static or dynamic· your call: the address inside the image, or a trackable short link

Step 1:Content

The QR code points to one of our short links: scans are counted and the destination stays editable after printing. Requires a free account. With it off, the address goes inside the image and the code works without us.

Step 2: Customise the look

Smart Color

Enter up to three colours, for example your brand’s. Each proposal places them on modules, markers, background and frame, and always clears the contrast a scanner needs.

How it works

A URL QR code holds a web address. Whoever points their phone camera at it sees a preview of the address and opens the page in the browser with one tap. No app is needed: iPhone and Android both read QR codes with the built-in camera.

You can choose between two forms. With the address engraved in the image the code is static: it works forever, without an account, but can never be changed. With the trackable short link the code is dynamic: it points to a short address of ours that forwards to your page, so the destination can be changed from your dashboard and every scan is counted.

When to use it

It is the right type whenever the content already lives online: a product page, a promotion, a sign-up form, an article. Posters, flyers, business cards, labels and shop windows are where a URL QR code earns its place, because printed text alone rarely gets people to a website.

Choose the dynamic version when the print outlives the campaign: this month’s promotion and next month’s can share the same code, and the statistics tell you which material actually got scanned.

Before you print

Always use an address that starts with https and open it in a browser before generating the code: a QR that leads to a missing page cannot be fixed once printed, unless it is dynamic.

The longer the address, the more modules it needs and the denser the code becomes. A short link produces a simpler image that reads from further away and at smaller sizes. If you add a logo, keep error correction high and test the scan with at least two phones.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the destination after printing the QR code?
Yes. The printed code always points to the same short address: change the destination from the panel and anyone scanning lands on the new content, with nothing to reprint.
Do QR codes expire or stop working?
No, the codes you generate never expire. If the owner deactivates a dynamic QR code, anyone scanning it sees a notice page instead of the destination.
