Static vs. Dynamic QR Codes

Fixed Content: Once generated, the information embedded in a static QR code cannot be changed or updated. The data—such as a URL, text, or contact info—is permanently encoded.
Offline Generation: No internet connection is needed to generate or use a static QR code. The user’s device decodes the information directly from the code.
Use Cases: Ideal for one-time or unchanging information, such as plain text, email addresses, WiFi passwords, product serial numbers, or URLs that will never change.
No Tracking or Analytics: Static QR codes do not support analytics or scan tracking, as there is no “middleman” server involved.
Security: Since the information is visible to anyone with a scanner, sensitive or confidential data should not be encoded in static QR codes.

Editable Content: The destination or data behind a dynamic QR code can be changed or updated without altering the actual QR code image. The code typically points to a short URL on a server that redirects users to the current content.
Requires Online Service: Dynamic QR codes rely on an online service or platform to manage redirection and analytics.
Use Cases: Perfect for situations where content may change, such as marketing campaigns, event information, menus, or links where tracking and updating are important.
Analytics & Scan Tracking: Dynamic QR codes can provide detailed scan analytics (number of scans, locations, devices, etc.), making them useful for marketing and engagement measurement.
Security: Offers more control, as the destination can be changed or disabled if needed. However, users must trust the QR code provider not to redirect to unsafe content in the future.
