A quick way to understand which QR type fits your use case.

Decision guide

Pick the right QR type before you print.

The wrong choice is usually static when you needed dynamic. Here is how to decide.

If the destination may change

Use dynamic QR codes.

Menus, campaigns, packaging, and cards that need destination updates.

Explore
If the data is fixed forever

Use static QR codes.

Wi-Fi credentials, phone numbers, and plain text that never changes.

Explore
If you need scan tracking

Use dynamic QR codes.

Only redirect-based QR codes can report scan time, location, and device.

Print reliability

The best QR code is the one people can scan quickly.

Design choices are secondary to scan reliability. Treat the final printed file as the source of truth.

  • Use high contrast between modules and background.
  • Keep a clear quiet zone around the QR code.
  • Test the final exported file before printing.
  • Choose SVG for professional print whenever possible.
