Why use a URL QR code?
Typing a long URL on a phone is painful. A URL QR code lets people open your link with one scan — no typing, no typos, no missed visits. It's the most common QR code type for a reason.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL QR code?
A URL QR code encodes a web link (http or https) into a QR code. When scanned, the phone opens the link in its default browser. It's the most common type of QR code.
Should I use a static or dynamic QR code for my URL?
If your URL won't change, a static QR code is fine — it's free and works forever. If you might change the destination (e.g., update a landing page, redirect to a new campaign), use a dynamic QR code. Dynamic QR codes let you update the URL anytime without reprinting and track scans.
