When should you use a static QR code?
Use a static QR when the encoded information does not need to change, such as a permanent website URL, contact details, Wi-Fi credentials or plain text. Static codes can be generated locally in the browser and do not require a QR hosting account.
When should you use a dynamic QR code?
Use a dynamic QR when you need to change the destination after printing, use a redirect or short URL, or measure scans. These features require server-side routing and analytics rather than a purely offline generator.
