Static vs Dynamic QR Codes

Static and dynamic QR codes are often confused, but they serve different purposes. The right choice depends on whether you need flexibility after printing.

Static QR codes

Static QR codes contain fixed information. Once created and printed, the destination usually cannot be changed.

Dynamic QR codes

Dynamic QR codes typically route through a redirect or managed destination, making it easier to update links and track performance later.

When should you use each one?

  • Use static QR codes for stable destinations like WiFi details or basic contact cards
  • Use dynamic QR codes for campaigns, promotions, landing pages, and offers that may change later
