How Dynamic QR Codes Work

Three simple steps separate a static QR from a fully editable, trackable dynamic QR code.

1

QR Contains a Short Link

Instead of embedding the final URL, the QR code stores a short redirect link hosted on our servers.

2

Our Server Redirects

When someone scans the QR code, our server instantly redirects them to your chosen destination and logs the scan.

3

Change Destination Anytime

Update where the QR points from your dashboard. Same printed QR code, completely new target — no reprinting needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about dynamic QR codes.

What is a dynamic QR code?
A dynamic QR code is a QR code whose destination can be changed after creation without modifying the QR image itself. It works by encoding a short redirect URL instead of the final destination, so you can update where it points from your dashboard at any time.
How is it different from a static QR code?
Static QR codes embed data directly into the QR pattern and cannot be changed once created. Dynamic QR codes use a redirect URL that you control, allowing you to change the destination, track scans, and access analytics — all without reprinting the QR code.
Can I track who scans my QR code?
Yes. Dynamic QR codes from Codex QR provide real-time scan analytics including device type, country, date and time, and total scan counts.
Do dynamic QR codes expire?
No. Dynamic QR codes created with Codex QR do not expire. They continue to work as long as your account is active.
Can I change a static QR code to a dynamic one?
No. Because static QR codes have the data embedded directly in the pattern, they cannot be converted to dynamic. However, you can create a new dynamic QR code with the same content and replace the static one.
Is there a scan limit?
The Free plan includes up to 1,000 scans. The Pro plan ($9/month) supports up to 50,000 scans, and the Business plan supports up to 200,000 scans.
