QR codes that never expire.
Print a code once and change where it points whenever you need to. You pay one time. There's no subscription, so nothing can switch your printed codes off later.
One payment, unlimited scans, 14-day refund. Checkout by Stripe.
Why most dynamic QR codes stop working
A dynamic code doesn't contain your link. It contains a short link run by the QR company, which forwards people to your page. That's what lets you edit it, and it's also the catch: many companies only keep forwarding while you pay a subscription.
When a free trial ends, a card fails or someone cancels, the code on every menu, flyer and box you printed stops working. With PermaQR you pay once, so there is no subscription to run out.
| Subscription QR service | PermaQR | |
|---|---|---|
| Payment | Monthly or yearly, renews automatically | Once |
| If you stop paying | Codes can stop working | Nothing to stop paying |
| Scans | Often limited on cheaper plans | Unlimited |
| Change the link | While subscribed | Any time |
| Login | Account and password | Private link sent by email |

Questions
Can I change a QR code after it's printed?
Yes, if it's a dynamic code like the ones PermaQR makes. Static codes from free generators can't be changed. How it works.
Do PermaQR codes ever expire?
No. You pay once and the code keeps working. There's no subscription to renew and no scan limit.
What's the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?
A static code stores your link in the pattern itself, so it can never change (and never expires). A dynamic code stores a short link like getpermaqr.com/q/abc2345 that forwards to your page, so you can change it after printing. More on this.
Can I move codes from another QR generator?
No. A printed dynamic code always points at the company that made it. Keep your old subscription while you replace printed material with PermaQR codes, then cancel it.
Do I need an account?
No password. After paying you get a private link to manage your codes, also sent by email. If you lose it, we'll email you a new one.
Do you track people who scan?
We count scans per code so you can see which ones work. We don't store IP addresses or build profiles.
Which files do I get?
PNG for screens and documents, and SVG for print, which stays sharp at any size.
What can't I link to?
Phishing, malware, scams and illegal content. Codes used for that get disabled.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 14 days of purchase if you haven't created a code yet. Reply to your receipt or email us.
