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.
How to create a QR code with tracking
Paste your destination link, choose tracking and save the dynamic code to your account before you download. Give each placement a descriptive name, such as Window poster or Table card. Scan the downloaded image with your phone to check the link.
Tracking needs a dynamic redirect. QRtracer cannot add tracking to a static QR pattern that has already been printed.
See scan counts, times, locations and devices
Analytics shows total scans, unique-scan estimates, activity over time and breakdowns by approximate location, device and browser. Open a saved code to review its activity and compare date ranges.
Location is estimated from network information, not GPS. Repeated scans, your own tests and automated traffic can affect the totals. Unique-scan estimates are not a verified count of people.
Compare posters, packaging and campaign placements
Use a separate code for each placement even when the destination is the same. Compare scans over matching date ranges, taking account of how many items were distributed and how long each placement was visible.
This helps you see which materials attract attention. Use the business QR code guide to plan codes for menus, bookings, reviews and printed campaigns.
Connect QR scans to website results
Add UTM campaign parameters to the destination URL and check completed actions in your website analytics, booking system or form tool. A scan shows interest in a link; the destination system shows what happened next.
Paid plans include CSV export for reporting outside QRtracer. Follow the QR campaign ROI guide to connect campaign costs, scans and measured outcomes.
Keep tracking when your destination changes
Your dynamic code keeps the same printed pattern when you update its destination in the dashboard. Earlier scans stay with that code, so note the date of a change when comparing results. Learn more about editable dynamic QR codes.
