Understanding QR Code Types

Before creating your first project, it's important to understand the two types of QR codes:

Static QR Codes

• Point to a fixed URL that never changes
• Cannot be edited after creation
• No analytics tracking
• Best for: One-time use, permanent displays

Dynamic QR Codes (Recommended)

• Point to a flexible URL managed by QRCompose
• Can be updated anytime without reprinting
• Full analytics and tracking enabled
• Best for: Businesses, events, marketing campaigns

Why Dynamic?

Dynamic QR codes give you complete control. Update your content, change destinations, track performance—all without reprinting your QR code.

Testing Your QR Code

Before printing or sharing widely, always test your QR code:

2. Check Load Speed — Experience should load in under 2 seconds
3. Verify Links — Click every link to ensure they work correctly
4. Test Responsiveness — View on different screen sizes
5. Check Analytics — Make sure tracking is working
