The problem

Once a QR code exists, what about it can you actually change? People often discover the answer the hard way — they made a static QR, the URL changed, and now every scan goes to a 404. The truth is: it depends entirely on what kind of QR you made. Dynamic QRs are almost fully editable. Static QRs are essentially frozen.

The fix

If it's a dynamic QR from QRThis, open your dashboard, click the QR, and edit the destination URL, the name, or archive it. Style edits (color, size, format) require generating a fresh image but the destination stays the same. If it's a static QR, the encoded URL is permanent — you can only edit the visual rendering (re-export at a different color/size), not what it points to.

What you get

  • Dynamic QR — destination URL: editable anytime. Saves immediately, applies on next scan.
  • Dynamic QR — visual style (color, background, size, format): regenerate the image; the underlying redirect stays the same.
  • Static QR — destination URL: not editable. The URL is encoded into the dot pattern itself.
  • Static QR — visual style: re-export at any color/size; the encoded URL is preserved because it's the same input.
