Static vs. Dynamic QR Codes: The Differences

4 min read
Updated Dec 27, 2025

One of the most common questions we get is: "Which one should I use?" The answer depends on two things: Permanence and Analytics.

Static QR

Direct encoding. Data is stored in the pixels.

  • Truly Permanent: Will work forever.
  • Fastest: No server lookup required.
  • Privacy: No data tracking possible.
  • Uneditable: Link broken? Need to reprint.
  • No Stats: You won't know who scanned.

Dynamic QR

Redirect encoding. Data is stored on our secure servers.

  • Editable: Change the URL anytime.
  • Analytics: Track scans, devices, locations.
  • Smart Features: App Store routing, etc.
  • ⚠️Dependence: Relies on our servers (99.9% uptime).

Which one for me?

  • Choose Static for WiFi codes, vCards (if you don't move often), or permanent text/email templates.
  • Choose Dynamic for Marketing flyers, Restaurant Menus (you change dishes seasonally), or Business Cards (you might change jobs/numbers).
