How it works
Dynamic QR codes you can update after printing
Free qrcode.house downloads are static — like Adobe Express or Canva — the destination is baked into the pattern. Unlock a code ($9.99/year) and it becomes dynamic: the print points at a short link on qrcode.house, and we store the destination on your account so you can change URL, vCard, Wi‑Fi, and more without reprinting. Custom logo is included with unlock.
We store the destination
When you save a code, the content behind it lives in our database — not in the ink on the card. Scan → short link → latest destination you saved. Update a menu URL, Wi‑Fi password, or phone number online; every printed sticker still works.
Static vs dynamic
Static (most free tools)
The destination is encoded in the QR itself. Change your website, Wi‑Fi password, or phone number and every printed copy is wrong. You must generate a new code and reprint.
Dynamic (qrcode.house)
We store the destination. The QR always opens your short link. Edit online — same cards, posters, and stickers keep working. That is the whole product.
What you can put behind the code
One printed QR. Content you can rewrite whenever you need — including switching type (for example from a temporary URL to a permanent vCard) by editing your saved code. That is how a QR sticker on your phone can go from contact details to Instagram to a payment link without peeling it off. For table tents, when a QR code menu needs a reprint depends on whether the destination URL itself will move. For posters and tickets, when an event QR needs a reprint is the same choice: stable URL or calendar invite stays static; a moving ticket link is the $9.99/year unlock.
vCard
Digital business card. Update phone, email, or job title without reprinting cards.
URL
Website, menu, review page, payment link, app store — swap the link anytime.
Wi‑Fi
Guest network details. Change the password; keep the same sticker on the wall.
Email / Phone / SMS
Open compose, dial, or text — update the number or address later.
WhatsApp
Chat link with optional prefilled message. Change the number when staff change.
Maps / Event
Place pin or calendar invite baked into the pattern. For tickets or RSVP that may move after print, use a URL code.
How a scan works
- Someone scans your printed QR. It opens qrcode.house/your-slug.
- We load the latest content you saved — profile, redirect, Wi‑Fi join page, WhatsApp, and so on.
- You change that content in the builder anytime. No new file to download unless you want a fresh style or logo.
Free build vs unlock
Download a free static QR anytime — destination baked into the file, same as a DIY template export. Unlock a saved code at $9.99/year when you need the destination stored on your account, updates without reprinting, and your own centre logo. Each code is billed separately; codes you never unlock stay free downloads. Per-code year vs a monthly QR plan is the buying-model write-up; QR Code Generator vs $9.99/year lists current QRCG plan prices.
Name every code so you can pick which one to edit from the dashboard, and turn any code off without affecting the others.
