QR Code Generator with Scan Tracking
Create a QR code, choose tracking, and save it to your account. See when and where it gets scanned, compare placements, and update the link after printing.
Why tracking matters for physical QR code marketing
Tracking helps answer a practical question: which printed materials get opened? Create a separate dynamic code for each poster, handout or counter card. Give each code a clear name so you can connect the recorded activity to its placement. A static code is still suitable when you only need a fixed link and do not need QRtracer scan reports.
How a tracked QR code works
A dynamic pattern opens a QRtracer redirect URL, which forwards the visitor to your destination and records scan activity. The dashboard can group that activity by time, approximate location, device and browser. Location is an estimate, not GPS. Network conditions and the destination website affect the time it takes to open the page. See our privacy policy for data handling details.
Transparent plan breakdown: Free vs Pro
New accounts include unlimited dynamic QR codes, Analytics, and QR Studio for 30 days. Pro (€5.99/month) adds ongoing creation, full analytics history, CSV export, and Studio access. Under the current policy, existing redirects and scan recording continue after a plan change; service terms and destination availability still apply.
Granular comparison across print placements
Use one code for a store window and another for receipt inserts, even when both open the same page. Compare scans over the same date range and account for how many items were distributed. More scans do not necessarily mean a better sales result. Add campaign parameters to your destination URL and use your website analytics to examine signups or purchases.
What happens after the free analytics period
After the first 30 days, a Free account needs a paid plan to open premium Analytics and QR Studio areas. Existing dynamic redirects and scan collection continue. Your destination page still needs to stay online. Choose a dynamic code before printing: tracking cannot be added retroactively to an existing static pattern.
Understand what a scan count can tell you
Repeated opens, your own tests and automated traffic can affect scan counts. Unique-scan figures are estimates rather than a verified count of people. Treat scan activity as a measure of interest in the link, and check completed actions in the system that handles bookings, forms or sales. No scan counter alone can prove a campaign generated revenue.
