Static vs Dynamic QR Codes: Which Should You Use?

Choosing the right QR code type matters before printing it on marketing materials or packaging.

Static QR codes

The final information is embedded inside the code. They are free, private, and do not need a service to keep working.

Dynamic QR codes

The code points to a redirect link. You can change the final destination and view scan data, but the redirect service must stay active.

Make the right choice

Choose static for permanent links, Wi-Fi, contacts and simple campaigns. Use dynamic when the destination will change after printing.
