URL QR code FAQ
- Does the URL QR code expire?
- No. Static URL codes encode the destination directly into the pattern. Once you download the QR, it works forever without depending on qr-cow's servers.
- Can I change the URL after I print the code?
- Only with a dynamic code. Save the QR to a free account and pick Dynamic — you can then edit the destination any time without reprinting the QR. Static codes are free; dynamic codes are $3/month.
- Do long URLs make the QR harder to scan?
- Yes — longer URLs produce a denser, harder-to-scan code. For long tracking URLs (with UTM parameters) use a dynamic code: qr-cow shortens the destination internally so the printed pattern stays simple while you keep the full attribution server-side.
