Static vs dynamic — what is the difference?

A static code bakes the data into the pattern (free, permanent, unchangeable). A planned dynamic code would point at a short link you can re-route later.

Can static codes be tracked?

No — there is no redirect to measure. Planned dynamic codes should handle scan analytics once the backend exists.

Need to change it after printing?

This makes a static code — free forever, never expires, but its destination is fixed. If you will need to re-point it later without reprinting, use the dynamic QR preview to plan the backend workflow.

Print & scan reliably

Keep contrast high. Dark code on a light background scans best; avoid pale colors on white.
Mind the quiet zone. Leave clear margin around the code — don't crop it tight.
Size for distance. Rule of thumb: scan distance ÷ 10 = minimum code width. A 1 m sign wants ~10 cm.
Use logos wisely. Logo upload is Pro; free error-correction controls help keep styled codes scan-safe.
Export SVG on Pro. Vectors stay crisp at any size; the free standard PNG is fine for screens and quick use.
