Event Promotion
Use static QR codes on flyers, posters, or tickets for events to link directly to the event’s webpage, registration form, or promotional video.
Menu Access in Restaurants
Restaurants place static QR codes on tables or menus that link to a digital version of the menu, reducing the need for physical menus and offering a contactless option.
Wi-Fi Access
Hotels and resorts create a static QR code that encodes Wi-Fi credentials, allowing guests to connect to your network by simply scanning the code without needing to manually enter the password.
If you want to capture scan statistics or enable scan tracking then you must use dynamic codes. Dynamic QR codes (or dynamic code for short) allow you to do much more, including.

Multiple Destination Options
Dynamic QR codes can redirect users to different URLs based on factors like location, time, browser, or device type (mobile device, tablet, or laptop), offering a customised experience.
Higher Error Correction Level
Dynamic QR codes have higher error correction levels because they typically encode a short URL leaving space for error correction data. This is useful in environments where the code’s print quality detoriates or users scan the QR code from a longer distance.
Some use cases of dynamic codes are
Marketing Campaigns
Customer Feedback

Frequently Asked Questions
How To Generate a Dynamic QR Code?
A dynamic QR code allows you to change the content or destination it points to even after the code has been printed or distributed. To generate dynamic QR Codes you need to pay for a dynamic QR code service. After completing the setup, copy the URL and come back here to generate the QR code.
So how are dynamic QR codes and static QR codes different? Technically they are the same. A dynamic code is a static QR code plus the go-between service. The go between service helps you track the performance of the QR code (your QR codes become trackable qr codes).

D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. and Chalfant Family Farms created the largest QR code in 2022, covering 159,918 square meters (1,721,344 square foot) in Indiana, USA, by planting crops in a QR code pattern.
Each side of this QR code was a quarter of a mile. This example illustrates that there is no upper limit on how big QR codes can be.
However, the smallest QR code scannable with a phone should be 2cmx2cm. Most QR codes used for commercial purposes are sized using the formula below. Some commercial QR code readers can scan QR codes as small as 1cmx1cm.
Can I Include my Company Logo on QR Codes?

Are QR Codes Legally Protected

The iPhone camera app can also scan QR codes. You can also read the QR code by downloading the generated QR code and uploading it to a website or opening it using a QR code mobile phone app.
How Can I Generate a Custom QR Code Via a URL Using Your QR Code Generator?
A standout feature of our QR code generator is custom QR codes via URLs. Let’s say you have a spreadsheet where each row is the data that needs to be encoded using a QR code. To generate QR codes in bulk simply include data as the URL parameter in the second row. The screenshot from the spreadsheet template will help you easily understand the process.
You can use the generated QR codes on flyers, labels, landing pages, and more.
Click on the link to open the URL and download the unique QR code for each row.
Does a QR Code Expire?
A static QR code does not expire. It will continue to function indefinitely as long as the content it links to (assuming the QR code encodes a website URL) remains accessible. If the code has plain text or numeric data it never expires. In contrast, dynamic QR codes do expire. Dynamic codes can be set to expire or may become inactive if they are linked to temporary content or if tied to a service with an expiration date.
Is there a Scan Limit to the QR Codes Generated Using your QR Code Generator
There are no limits to scanning QR codes when you create QR codes using our QR code generator. However, if you are using a dynamic QR code service, the scan can be limited.
