When someone scans, open…

Or point the code at any website. Change it later without reprinting.

2Step 2 of 4

Design your code

Make the code look like your brand, then download a file your printer can use straight away.

  • Your colors, logo and a “scan me” frame
  • Vector SVG, plus PNG, JPG and WebP
  • High error correction, so styled codes still scan

Print it anywhere

Put the same code on packaging, table cards, posters or business cards. You can even print before your page is finished.

  • Works with the phone camera people already use
  • One code can stay in print for years

Behind the scenes

What happens when someone scans.

A dynamic QR code doesn't point straight at your page. It points at ZetaQR, which is why you can change the destination after printing.

Someone scans your code

With the camera already on their phone. Nothing to install.

Z

ZetaQR sends them on

It looks up where your code should go right now and counts the scan.

They land on your page

Your menu, a PDF, a contact card or any website.

The middle step is yours to control. Change the destination in your dashboard and every printed copy of that code follows straight away.

Why dynamic

Why you shouldn't print a static QR code.

Static codes look free until a link breaks on a thousand printed flyers. Here's how the two compare in real situations.

  • Your link changes or has a typo

    The printed code is stuck pointing at the wrong place. You reprint.

    Update the destination in your dashboard. The print stays the same.

  • A promotion ends

    People keep landing on an expired offer or an error page.

    Point the code at your next offer, menu or review page.

  • You want to know if the print worked

    No idea how many people scanned it.

    Scan counts, busiest hours, cities and devices.

  • The code gets scuffed or folded

    Basic codes can stop scanning when part of them is damaged.

    High error correction keeps styled and worn codes readable.

  • It needs to look on-brand

    A plain black-and-white square.

    Your colors, your logo, and vector files for your printer.

FAQ

Questions about how it works.

Plain answers about printing, changing and tracking dynamic QR codes.

A static code stores your web address in the pattern itself, so it can't change. A ZetaQR dynamic code stores a short ZetaQR link instead. When someone scans it, we send them to whatever destination you've set, and you can change that at any time.

Nothing breaks. Update the destination in your ZetaQR dashboard and every printed copy of the code opens the new page. No reprints and no stickers over the old code.

Not noticeably. There's one extra quick hop through ZetaQR before your page loads. On a normal phone connection people won't notice it.

No. iPhones and most Android phones read QR codes straight from the camera app, so nobody has to install anything.

PNG, SVG, JPG and WebP. SVG scales to any size without going blurry, so send that one to your printer. The others are handy for documents and the web.

Yes. The Starter plan is free forever and includes 10 dynamic QR codes and 500 scans a month. Pro and Business features are also free for everyone until December 1, 2026.
