The problem

You printed 500 flyers (or a billboard, or 10,000 business cards) and the URL the QR code points to has changed. The page moved, the campaign ended, the form moved to a new host. A regular static QR code has the URL baked into the image — change the destination and every printed code becomes a dead link. Reprinting isn't cheap and isn't fast.

The fix

If the printed QR was a dynamic QR code, you're fine — log in, click the QR, paste the new URL, save. Every future scan goes to the new destination. If the printed QR was static (URL encoded directly in the image), you have one trick available: redirect the original URL itself at the DNS or webserver level. Otherwise, the static QR has to be reprinted with a new code.

What you get

  • Dynamic QR codes from QRThis re-target in under 10 seconds — open the dashboard, edit the URL, scans hit the new destination immediately.
  • Static QR codes can't be edited directly — the URL is baked into the pattern of dots and there's no way to rewrite it without changing the image.
  • Workaround for already-printed static QRs: 301-redirect the original URL on your server so scans land at the new page. Requires control over the original domain.
  • Going forward: print dynamic codes by default. One-time setup, infinite re-targeting. First one is free at qrth.is.
