Static vs Dynamic QR Code: What’s the Difference?
Learn the difference between static and dynamic QR codes, how they work, their key benefits, limitations, and which type to use.
What Is a Static QR Code?
A static QR code encodes its information directly into the pattern of black and white squares. Because the data is etched into the code itself, changing the information requires generating a new QR code. You can generate static QR codes for websites, Wi-Fi networks, and contact info.
What Is a Dynamic QR Code?
A dynamic QR code encodes an intermediary redirect URL, allowing the final destination to be modified at any time without replacing the printed barcode.
How to Scan a QR Code
You can use your mobile camera or scan QR code tools directly online using your webcam or photo uploads.
