What is the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?
A static QR code encodes data directly into the pattern — the destination is fixed and cannot be changed. A dynamic QR code stores a short redirect URL inside the pattern; you can update where it points any time from your dashboard without reprinting. Dynamic codes also count every scan (total scans, unique devices and top referrers in your dashboard).
Can I edit a QR code after printing it?
Yes, if it is a dynamic QR code. Log in to your Scanmint dashboard, find the code, and update the destination URL. The printed QR pattern stays the same — only the redirect destination changes. Static QR codes cannot be edited after creation because the data is baked into the pattern.
Do Scanmint QR codes expire?
Static QR codes never expire — they encode data directly and work forever with no server involved. Dynamic QR codes send scans through a Scanmint redirect link, so they depend on Scanmint staying online; static codes never do. Free static codes have no expiry date and no account required.
What scan analytics do I get?
Every dynamic QR code shows total scans, unique devices and top referrers in your dashboard. Static free-tier codes do not collect any analytics.
Can I add my logo to a QR code?
Yes, on paid plans. Pro and Lifetime can upload a logo that is placed in the centre of the code (error correction is set to High automatically so it stays scannable). Free codes can still match your brand colours: set any foreground and background hex colour in the generator.
Are the QR codes free?
Static QR codes (URL, WiFi, vCard, Email, Phone, SMS, Text) are free forever with no account required. Download PNG or SVG instantly. Dynamic QR codes with scan analytics need a free account. Paid plans add hi-res PNG export (up to 1024px) and your logo in the QR code: Pro is $3.75 for your first payment, then $15.00/mo. Or a one-time Lifetime plan is $200 (never discounted). Launch offer: 75% off your first payment until December 31, 2026.
What QR code types does Scanmint support?
Scanmint supports seven types: URL (web links), WiFi (WPA/WPA2/WEP credentials), vCard (full contact card), Email (pre-filled mailto), Phone (click-to-call tel links), SMS (pre-filled smsto), and plain Text. All seven types are available on the free tier.
What download formats are available?
Free users can download PNG (up to 300 px) and SVG (infinitely scalable — ideal for print and large-format signage). Pro plans add hi-res PNG up to 1024 px without watermark.
