Scan statistics that respect people
See scans per day, unique visitors per day, countries, devices and operating systems. No cookies are set on the pages people land on, no IP addresses are stored, and nobody, us included, can tell who scanned.
Built not to break
- Billing never breaks a code: cancel or let a card expire and every printed code keeps working.
- A short link is never reused: delete a code and its link is retired for good.
- Ninety days’ notice if the service ever closes, with a copy of all your codes.
Questions
The things people ask most.
Do dynamic QR codes expire?
No. They keep working as long as your account exists, on the Free plan and after you stop paying too.
Can I change the type later, say from a website to a PDF?
Yes. Change the type or the content whenever you like; the printed code stays the same.
What happens when I pause a code?
Scans show a short “paused” page until you switch it back on.
How many dynamic codes are free?
A free account includes 1 dynamic code. Paid plans add more codes and more space for files.
