What is the difference between a Dynamic and Static QR Code?

Static QR Codes cannot be changed. Once printed and if the link is broken, there is nothing you can do except reprint a new one. Dynamic QR Codes, on the other hand, are editable and can be edited in real time. Since the dynamic QR code contains a placeholder URL, the same QR Code can be reused over and over again saving time, effort and money.

Do you need an app to scan QR codes?

iPhones and iPads (iOS 11 and higher) and Android smartphones (Android 8 and higher) do not need an app to scan QR codes. It is a native feature.

If your iPhone or iPad is not updated with iOS 11 (which is highly unlikely), you may need to download an app to scan QR codes.

Similarly, for Android smartphones that have not been upgraded to Android 8 or 9, need an additional app to scan these QR codes.

Can static QR Codes be changed to dynamic QR Codes?

No. You cannot alter static QR Codes once created.

Do static QR Codes expire?

Static QR Codes don’t expire. But they cannot be tracked or modified and are not recommended.
