Static vs. Dynamic QR Codes

Static QR codes have the information embedded directly. They never change and never expire. Dynamic QR codes use a short link that can be updated later, but they usually require a paid service. For most personal or small business needs, static codes are perfect.

Restaurants: Digital menus
Business cards: Share contact info instantly
Events: Connect guests to Wi-Fi without typing passwords
