The basics

What is a static QR code?

A static QR code encodes your information directly into the pattern itself. When someone scans it, they go straight to your content — no redirect, no middle step. Because the data is baked into the image, a static code is permanent: it will keep working forever, exactly as printed, with no dependency on any service staying online.

The trade-off: because nothing routes through us, static codes can’t be edited after creation and can’t be tracked. If you’re weighing your options, our guide on static vs dynamic QR codes breaks down when each one is the right choice.

Static vs dynamic

When to choose static

Static is perfect when:

  • • Your content will never change
  • • You don’t need scan analytics
  • • You want a permanent, no-cost code
  • • The destination is fixed by nature (Wi-Fi, contact details, plain text)

Consider dynamic instead if you want to:

  • • Edit the destination after printing
  • • Track scans and see where your audience is
  • • Add expiration dates, scan limits, or password protection
  • • Fire retargeting pixels (Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn) from every scan

FAQ

Static QR code questions

Are static QR codes really free?

Yes. You can create and download unlimited static codes at no cost, with full design customization included.

Do static codes expire?

Never. The content is encoded in the image, so it works permanently once created.

Can I edit a static code later?

No. To change the destination you would need to generate and reprint a new code. If you expect to make changes, use a dynamic code instead.

Can I track scans on a static code?

No. Scans go directly to your content without passing through us, so there is no way to measure them. Tracking requires a dynamic code.

What formats can I download?

PNG, JPEG, SVG, and PDF. SVG and PDF are vector formats that stay sharp at any size.
