A static QR code stores its data directly. A dynamic URL QR code points to a saved URLin.bio link so you can manage the resource behind that stable address.
When should I choose a static code?
Use a static code for information you expect to keep unchanged, such as a fixed web address, text, or a WiFi configuration. Editing that data later creates a different QR image; it does not rewrite copies already printed or downloaded.
How do I make a dynamic URL code?
- Create or identify the URLin.bio link that should remain stable. A short link is useful when you need to change an external destination later.
- In the QR builder, choose URL and enable Dynamic QR code.
- Select the intended saved link from the URL selector. Use the Create link route provided there if you need to make the resource first.
- Check the selected address carefully, generate the code, and scan the downloaded result.
- For later destination changes, edit the underlying resource and keep its public alias unchanged.
What must remain unchanged after printing?
Do not rename or delete the selected short-link alias, or disable the resource the code depends on. The QR builder specifically warns that changing the short-link alias breaks the code. A dynamic code also depends on the linked resource remaining available and within the account conditions that apply to it.
Can I measure scans?
Use the statistics of the linked resource. A dedicated short link for a printed campaign makes attribution easier. Visits to that address can also come from direct sharing, previews, or automated requests, so do not describe every recorded visit as a verified physical scan.
