Dynamic QR Code Generator
Create a tracked redirect code, print it, and update the destination later from your dashboard without changing the QR image.
How to create a dynamic QR code
Paste your destination URL into the generator, then choose tracking and save the code to your account. Download the QR image and test it with a phone before printing. Give the saved code a name that identifies its campaign or placement.
Your printed code contains a short QRtracer link. When someone scans it, QRtracer opens the destination currently saved in your dashboard.
Change the destination without reprinting
Open the saved code in your dashboard, replace its destination URL and save. The QR pattern stays the same. Scan a printed copy again to confirm it reaches the new page.
Use this for seasonal menus, event schedules, updated PDF files and changing campaign pages. Keep the destination publicly accessible so visitors can open it.
Dynamic vs static: choose before you print
A static code stores the original link directly in its pattern. It is free to download without an account, but QRtracer cannot change that link or report its scans. A dynamic code stores a redirect link that you manage from your account.
Choose dynamic when you need editable destinations or scan analytics. Read the static vs dynamic comparison if you are deciding which type to print.
Track scans from your dynamic codes
See scan counts, activity over time, approximate locations and devices in Analytics. Use a separate named code for each placement to compare posters, packaging or table cards. See the QR code tracking guide for the available metrics.
A scan records an open of the redirect link. To measure completed purchases, bookings or form submissions, combine that activity with results from the destination website.
What happens to your codes after a plan change
Existing QRtracer codes keep redirecting and recording scans after the trial or cancellation, and their destinations remain editable. New accounts include dynamic-code creation, Analytics and QR Studio for 30 days. A paid plan provides ongoing access to those features.
See pricing and plans for current access and export options. Keep your destination online and test printed codes periodically.
