Do QR Codes Stop Working?
Static QR codes usually do not expire because the information is baked directly into the code. Dynamic QR codes depend on the service managing the redirect and the status of your plan.
Why This Matters
If you are printing QR codes on packaging, flyers, menus, or signs, you need confidence that the destination will remain available.
How to Avoid Problems
- Use a reliable QR platform
- Keep important codes documented
- Test live codes regularly
- Use dynamic codes only when you need their features and can maintain the service
Practical Advice
Static QR codes are simpler for permanent destinations. Dynamic QR codes are better when you need editing, tracking, or smart routing.
