Static vs dynamic QR codes

A static QR code encodes its content directly. Once generated, it never changes. Pros: works forever, no infrastructure. Cons: can't be updated without re-printing.

A dynamic QR code encodes a redirect URL to a server you control. The destination can be changed without reissuing the QR code. Pros: flexible, analytics. Cons: requires a server, depends on its uptime.

How to choose

  • One-shot, never changes: static QR code. Use QR Code with Logo, you're done.
  • Will the destination change? Dynamic QR code. QR Code with Logo generates the encoding; the redirect logic lives elsewhere.
  • Need analytics? Dynamic. Static QR codes are invisible after they leave your device.
