Static QR Code

A static QR code is a method in which data (URLs, text, contact details, etc.) is stored directly in the QR code itself. Because it does not go through an external server, the data can be read even without an internet connection.

The advantages of static QR codes include permanence and independence. Because they do not depend on a QR code creation service, they are not affected by the service shutting down or by changes to its pricing plans.

On the other hand, a drawback is that the destination cannot be changed. If you want to change the URL, you need to recreate the QR code and replace the printed materials as well. In addition, access analytics data such as scan counts cannot be obtained. Static QR codes are suited to uses that do not need changes over a long period, such as business cards, product labels, and monuments.
