What is a dynamic QR code?

A dynamic QR code redirects through a short URL that you can update anytime. Unlike static QR codes that permanently encode a fixed URL, dynamic QR codes let you change the destination without reprinting the code.

How does QRShift work?

QRShift creates a unique short link and a QR code that points to it. When someone scans the QR code, they are instantly redirected to your destination URL. You can change the destination URL anytime from your dashboard — the QR code stays the same.

Yes, QRShift is completely free. You can create and manage dynamic QR codes, track scans, customize colors and logos, and swap destination URLs at no cost.

Can I customize the look of my QR code?

Yes. QRShift lets you change the foreground and background colors, adjust the margin, and add a logo overlay (PNG, JPEG, SVG, or WebP up to 500 KB) to match your brand.

What happens when someone scans my QR code?

The scan hits QRShift and is instantly redirected to your current destination URL. There is no splash page or delay. The scan is also counted so you can track analytics.

What analytics does QRShift provide?

QRShift tracks total scans, unique visitors, geolocation by country with an interactive world map, device type (mobile vs desktop), peak scan hours, and daily performance over 30 days. You can also download a full PDF performance report.

Can I set my QR code to expire?

Yes. QRShift supports expiration rules based on a scan limit or a specific date and time. When the rule triggers, you can choose to pause the QR code, delete it, or automatically swap it to a different URL.

Can I download a report of my QR code performance?

Yes. QRShift lets you download a detailed PDF report containing 30-day scan data, top countries, peak hours, device breakdown, and summary statistics for any QR code you own.

What are Smart Redirects?

Smart Redirects let you route QR code scanners to different URLs based on their country, device type, time of day, day of week, day of month, or month of year. You set rules once and every scan is automatically directed to the right page. Available on the Pro plan.

Can I create a QR code without signing up?

Yes. You can generate up to 3 free static QR codes directly on the homepage without creating an account. For dynamic QR codes with analytics, URL swapping, and smart redirects, sign up for a free account.

What happens when a QR code goes stale?

Before

shop.io/old-promo

404 — page not found

After

brand.co/new-link

301 → new link

Every time a URL changes on a static QR code, you reprint. Labels, menus, packaging, business cards — all wasted. With a dynamic QR code, you update the destination in two clicks and every printed code instantly points to the new link.

Three steps. Zero reprints.

From generation to redirection, QRShift keeps your codes alive and your links fresh.

STEP 01

Create

Paste a URL, pick colors and a dot style, add your logo. Your QR code is ready in under a second.

STEP 02

Print

Download as SVG, PNG, JPG, or PDF. Put it anywhere — the code never changes.

STEP 03

Update

Swap the destination from your dashboard. Set expiration rules. Track every scan.
