What's the difference between dynamic and static QR codes?

Static QR codes are permanent—once created, you can't change the content without generating a new code. Dynamic QR codes are editable: update links, menus, PDFs, or any content anytime without changing the QR code itself. QR-Build supports both types. Use static codes for permanent content that won't change. Use dynamic codes when you need flexibility—print once and update forever without reprints. Perfect for businesses that need long-term value and the ability to adapt.

How does pricing work?

QR-Build offers a free plan to get you started, plus paid plans for growing needs. The free plan includes 1 dynamic QR code, basic analytics, and essential features—perfect for trying things out. Paid plans unlock more dynamic QR codes, workspaces, team collaboration, advanced analytics, and more. Each plan is designed for different use cases—from individuals to large teams. Start free, upgrade when you need more.

Can I create a QR code without a workspace?

Absolutely. Create your first QR code in seconds—no workspace needed. Choose your QR type, add content, customize the design, and download. Workspaces are optional and help you organize multiple QR codes or collaborate with teams later. Start creating immediately, add structure when you need it.

What types of QR codes can I create?

Create QR codes for links, PDFs, images, videos, menus, WiFi credentials, contact cards, text, and more. Choose between static QR codes (permanent, can't be edited) or dynamic QR codes (editable anytime without changing the QR code itself). Dynamic codes are perfect for restaurants updating menus, businesses changing promotions, or marketers updating campaign links without reprinting.

How quickly can I create my first QR code?

In under 30 seconds. Choose your QR code type (link, PDF, menu, image, video, or more), paste your content, customize the design with colors and logos, then download. Start with our free plan and access core features immediately. Create instantly, manage professionally—upgrade anytime to unlock more capabilities.

How is QR-Build different from free QR generators?

Free generators create static QR codes you can't edit or organize. QR-Build is a management platform: edit QR codes anytime without reprinting, organize with workspaces and folders, track detailed analytics, and collaborate with teams. When you manage multiple QR codes across campaigns, clients, or locations, QR-Build saves time and keeps everything organized.

Is QR-Build for individuals or teams?

Both. QR-Build works great for solo users and teams. Create QR codes on your own, then add workspaces and team members as you grow. Many individuals use workspaces to separate personal projects from client work—even when working alone. Plans scale from individual creators to large teams managing hundreds of QR codes.

Can I edit QR codes after printing them?

Yes—with dynamic QR codes, this is QR-Build's core advantage and guaranteed to work. Update dynamic QR code content anytime—change links, menus, PDFs, or any information—without reprinting. Your QR code stays the same, but the content updates instantly. Changes take effect immediately and are permanent. Static QR codes cannot be edited after creation. No reprint costs, no outdated codes, no wasted materials. Print once, update forever with dynamic codes.

What analytics and insights do I get?

Get comprehensive, real-time analytics for every QR code: total scans, unique scans, scan locations (city and country), device types (iOS, Android, desktop), scan times and dates, peak usage periods, and scan trends over time. Export data, set up custom reports, and track campaign performance. Analytics update in real-time and are available for all your QR codes—no limits.

Can I manage multiple clients, brands, or locations?

Yes. Create separate workspaces for each client, brand, or location. Each workspace has its own folders, QR codes, and team members. Keep everything organized and accessible—perfect for agencies managing multiple clients, franchises organizing by location, or businesses running separate campaigns. Scale to unlimited workspaces based on your plan.

How do team roles and permissions work?

Invite team members with viewer, editor, or admin roles. Viewers can see QR codes and analytics. Editors can create, edit, and organize QR codes. Admins can manage the workspace, invite members, and control access. Set permissions per workspace, ensuring the right people have the right access while keeping campaigns secure. Team collaboration scales with your plan.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

You own your QR codes and data. If you cancel, your QR codes remain active and scannable—they won't stop working. You'll retain access to your account and can export your data. QR codes you've already printed will continue to function. You can reactivate anytime to regain full management capabilities. No data loss, no broken QR codes.

How secure is my data and who owns my QR codes?

Your data is protected with industry-standard encryption, secure cloud storage, and regular security audits. You own 100% of your QR codes and data—we never claim ownership. GDPR and SOC 2 compliant. You control access through workspace permissions and can revoke access anytime. We never sell your data or scan information. Your QR codes remain yours, even if you cancel.

What file formats can I download my QR code in?

Download your QR codes in PNG, SVG, PDF, or JPG formats. PNG and JPG are perfect for digital use and web. SVG is ideal for scalable vector graphics. PDF is best for professional printing and high-resolution applications. All formats maintain quality and scan perfectly.

What size should I print my QR code?

QR codes should be at least 1x1 inch (2.5x2.5 cm) for reliable scanning, but larger is better for distance scanning. For billboards or large displays, scale up proportionally. The minimum size depends on viewing distance—use larger codes for far-away scanning. Download high-resolution formats (PDF or SVG) for best print quality.

Can QR codes be scanned with any phone camera?

Yes. Modern smartphones (iPhone, Android) can scan QR codes directly with their built-in camera apps—no additional app needed. Most phones scan instantly when you point the camera at the QR code. Older devices may need a QR scanner app, but virtually all smartphones from the last 5+ years support native scanning.

Will my QR code work if I print it in black and white?

Yes. QR codes work perfectly in black and white, grayscale, or color. The contrast between the code and background is what matters—ensure high contrast for reliable scanning. Black QR codes on white backgrounds (or vice versa) scan best. Custom colors work too, as long as there's sufficient contrast.

Can I add a logo or image to my QR code?

Yes. Customize your QR codes with logos, images, colors, frames, and patterns. Add your brand logo in the center, choose custom colors, and select from various design styles. All customizations maintain scanability—your QR code will scan perfectly even with logos and design elements. Make it match your brand while staying functional.

What happens if someone scans my QR code?

When someone scans your QR code, they're instantly taken to your content—whether it's a link, PDF, menu, image, video, or other content type. You can track every scan in real-time: see when scans happen, where they're located, device types, and scan trends. Use analytics to understand your audience and optimize your campaigns.

Can I print QR codes on different materials?

Yes. QR codes work on virtually any material: paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, fabric, glass, and more. Ensure high contrast and sufficient size for the viewing distance. For outdoor or long-term use, consider weather-resistant materials and protective coatings. Test scan after printing to ensure quality, especially on textured or unusual surfaces.

The Rise of Link QR Codes

In an era where speed and simplicity drive behavior, link QR codes bridge offline and online. A quick scan replaces long, error-prone typing and takes users straight to your pages or media—the new baseline across marketing, education, retail, and everyday communication.

Billions of scans occur every year. From menus and packaging to tickets and promos, link QR codes reshape how people connect—boosting engagement and unlocking measurable insights.

Businesses get instant traceability: every scan can be tracked—when, where, and how often content is accessed. This data refines campaigns, optimizes placements, and proves ROI in ways print cannot.

For consumers, link QR codes remove friction. No more memorizing URLs or typing on tiny keyboards—one tap opens what you need. Menus, event registration, product specs—fast and frustration-free.

Versatility extends across industries: restaurants for menus, events for ticketing, retailers for product details, educators for materials. Each use case shows simplicity wins.

As adoption grows, link QR codes have evolved from novelty to necessity. Brands that integrate them early gain a lasting edge in reach, engagement, and analytics.

Why Create a QR Code for a URL?

Creating a QR code for a URL is not just a convenience; it is a strategic decision that makes your content significantly more accessible, measurable, and impactful across every touchpoint. Instead of relying on your audience to manually type a long web address — a process that often introduces typos, delays, abandonment, and lower conversion rates — a QR code turns access into one simple, frictionless action that works in seconds. It also helps unify online and offline journeys: a flyer, package, business card, receipt, storefront, or event badge can instantly guide someone to exactly the page you want them to see. For brands and teams, this means faster user journeys, better campaign consistency, and stronger confidence that visitors land on the right destination every time. In practice, a URL QR code is not only about speed; it improves user experience, increases trust, supports better engagement, and creates a cleaner path from attention to action.
