Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL QR code?
A URL QR code encodes a website address so that scanning the code instantly opens the link in a mobile browser. It works with any valid URL — websites, landing pages, social profiles, or app stores.
Can I change the URL after printing?
Yes — with a dynamic URL QR code you can edit the destination URL at any time without reprinting the code. Static URL QR codes are permanent and cannot be changed.
What is the difference between static and dynamic URL QR codes?
A static QR code encodes the URL directly — it is free and works forever but cannot be changed. A dynamic QR code stores a short redirect URL that you can update at any time from your dashboard. Dynamic QR codes also support scan analytics, custom short links, expiry dates, and deactivation controls on the Pro plan.
Can I set an expiry date on my URL QR code?
Yes — on the Pro plan you can set an expiry date on any dynamic URL QR code. After that date the QR code stops redirecting and shows a custom message you define. You can also manually deactivate and reactivate the redirect at any time.
Can I use a custom short link for my QR code URL?
Yes — Pro users can set a custom short link slug (e.g. addtoqr.com/urls/my-product) so the redirect URL is memorable and on-brand.
What URL formats are supported?
Any valid URL works: https://, http://, and links with query parameters such as UTM tracking links. We recommend using HTTPS links for security.
How do I track how many times my URL QR code is scanned?
Create a dynamic QR code and access your dashboard to see real-time scan analytics including total scans, location data, and device types.
