Editable managed links

Dynamic QR codes that adapt after printing

Dynamic QR codes point printed artwork to a aQRify short link, letting you update the destination, content, status, organization, or expiration later.

Create a dynamic QRLearn how it works

Feature overview

What are dynamic QR codes?

A dynamic QR code contains a managed short link instead of the final destination. When someone scans, aQRify checks the link status, records privacy-conscious activity, and redirects to the current destination.

It prevents expensive reprints when a campaign URL changes, a link is entered incorrectly, seasonal content rotates, or a destination needs to be paused.

Practical examples

  • Correct a campaign link after posters are distributed
  • Update a restaurant menu while keeping table cards
  • Move an event code from registration to post-event resources

Frequently asked questions

Helpful answers before you begin

Can I edit a dynamic QR code after printing?

Yes. Update its destination or supported managed content from the dashboard without changing the QR image.

What happens when a dynamic QR code is paused?

Scanners see a clear unavailable page instead of being redirected. Reactivating the record restores the same printed code.

Do dynamic QR codes collect raw IP addresses?

aQRify uses privacy-conscious scan processing and rotating anonymous visitor estimates rather than storing raw IP addresses in scan records.

Can a dynamic QR code expire on a date?

Yes. Set an optional expiration date. An expired code displays a clear unavailable state.

Which dynamic content types can I edit?

aQRify supports URL and structured experiences including menus, products, events, businesses, social profiles, link lists, coupons, playlists, vCards, and barcodes.

Will my code resume after upgrading?

Managed codes paused because a trial ended resume after the workspace activates a paid plan, without reprinting.

Can I see an old destination?

Yes. The QR detail page keeps destination history when the redirect destination changes.
