Static QR codes don't expire
A static code holds your link inside the pattern. There's no company in the middle, so it works as long as the page it opens stays online.
Dynamic QR codes can stop
A dynamic code holds a short link to another company's server, which forwards each scan. That's what lets you change the destination and see scan counts.
It also means the code depends on that company. What happens when a plan ends varies by provider. Some keep forwarding, some add limits, and some stop. Our provider directory lists what each company's own pages say.
How to tell which you have
Point your phone camera at the code and read the link preview before tapping it. If it shows your own website, it's probably static. If it shows a QR company's domain, it's dynamic. The checker on this page can confirm it.
Check your code
Scan it, upload a photo, or paste the link. We'll show where it goes and who controls it.
