Dynamic QR Code Generator with Scan Analytics
A dynamic QR code routes scans through a short redirect link, so the physical code on your printed material never changes — only the destination does. Because every scan passes through that link, you can also count scans; how that works is on the QR code tracking page. Creating a dynamic QR code is free with a free account.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a dynamic and a static QR code?
A static QR code encodes the destination permanently. A dynamic QR code encodes a short redirect URL; you change where that redirect points from your dashboard without reprinting.
Does Scanmint's dynamic QR work offline?
No. Because the scan triggers an HTTP redirect, the scanning device needs an internet connection to reach the destination. Static QR codes encoding plain text or WiFi credentials work offline.
What analytics does Scanmint provide?
Total scans, unique devices and top referrers for each dynamic QR code. The QR code tracking page lists what is and is not counted.
Can I use a dynamic QR code on a free plan?
Yes. Dynamic QR codes need a free Scanmint account. Pro and Lifetime add hi-res PNG export (up to 1024px) and your logo in the QR code; see the pricing page. Static QR codes remain free forever.
