Frequently asked questions

Is the QR code generator free for schools?

Yes. You can create free static QR codes (URL type) for any school use. No account required for basic generation. Creating an account lets you save and manage multiple codes.

Can I change the link after printing?

With a static QR code, no — the link is fixed. With a dynamic QR code (paid plan), you can update the destination anytime. Useful for homework links that change each week.

Do students need an app to scan?

No. iPhone and Android cameras can scan QR codes without a separate app. Students point the camera at the code and tap the notification to open the link.

What if the link is long (e.g. Google Form)?

Long URLs work fine. QR codes can store up to several thousand characters. Paste the full Google Form or Google Drive link — it will encode without issue.

Can I track how many people scanned?

Yes, with dynamic QR codes (paid plan). You get scan counts and optional analytics — useful to see how many parents opened the permission form or how many students accessed the homework link.
