QR code management that lets you edit codes after they are printed
Create a QR code once, then change where it points whenever you need to. The printed code stays the same, the destination behind it is yours to edit, and your scan totals carry over.
Free plan, no card needed.
Destination
was acme.com/spring
One code, edited as often as you like
Dynamic QR codes put a stable link on print and a destination you control online. Here is what that gives you.
Editable QR codes
Update the destination URL of any code in seconds, no reprint and no new sticker.
Changes go live instantly
Every future scan follows the new destination the moment you save the change.
Stable short link
Each code prints a fixed ScanKit short link (/r/<slug>) that never changes when you edit the target.
Full destination history
See every URL a code has pointed to, with the timestamp and the person who changed it.
Scans never reset
Your scan count keeps adding up across edits, so a code's history stays intact for good.
Change a QR code destination after printing, without reprinting
A dynamic QR code separates the printed pattern from the page it opens. The code encodes a short ScanKit link, and that link forwards to whatever destination you set. When you need to point somewhere new, you edit the destination in the dashboard and the same printed code starts sending people there.
- Edit the target URL on Free, Plus, and Pro plans.
- The printed code and its short link are untouched by an edit.
- Fix a typo or swap a landing page long after the print run.

A fast, validated redirect behind every code
Each scan hits your short ScanKit link and is forwarded to the current destination. ScanKit checks that the destination is a real http or https URL before it saves, so a code never points at a broken or malformed address. The redirect is built to resolve quickly so the scanner barely notices the hop.
- Only valid http and https destinations are accepted.
- Lock a slug so its short link stays reserved.
- Repoint seasonal campaigns to a new page in one edit.
Every change is logged in an immutable history
Editing a QR code does not erase the past. ScanKit keeps an append-only record of every destination a code has carried. For each change you can see the old URL, the new URL, the exact time, and the account that made it, so a shared workspace always has a clear trail.
- An immutable log captures who changed what and when.
- Review the full chain of past destinations at any time.
- Keep accountability across a team without a side spreadsheet.
From print to repointed in three steps
- 1
Generate and print once
Create a code, set its first destination, and download print-ready artwork. The short link is fixed from this point on.
- 2
Update the link any time
Open the code and change its destination whenever your campaign, menu, or page moves. Save, and it is live.
- 3
Keep history and scans
Each edit is added to the destination log while your scan total keeps counting, so nothing resets.
Dynamic codes vs static codes
A static QR code bakes the destination into the print. A dynamic ScanKit code keeps the destination editable for life.
QR code management, answered
The practical questions people ask before they print a code.
Can you change a QR code after printing?
Yes, if it is a dynamic QR code. ScanKit codes hold a fixed short link, and you can change the destination behind that link any time. The printed code never changes, so you can repoint it long after the print run without reprinting.
What is a dynamic QR code?
A dynamic QR code stores a short redirect link rather than the final destination. That link forwards to a target you control, so you can update the destination later. A static QR code locks the destination into the print and cannot be changed.
Do scans reset when I edit a QR code?
No. Editing the destination does not reset anything. Your scan total keeps adding up across every change, so a code you have used for months keeps its full count after you repoint it.
How do I update a QR code link?
Open the code in your ScanKit dashboard, change the destination URL, and save. The QR code redirect updates immediately, and every future scan goes to the new page. The edit is also written to the code's history.
Is there a history of where a QR code has pointed?
Yes. ScanKit keeps an immutable history for each code: every destination it has carried, when it changed, and who changed it. That trail is useful when a workspace is shared across a team.
Is editable QR code management available on the free plan?
Yes. Dynamic destinations, editing, and destination history are included on every plan. Free covers 3 codes, Plus covers 50, and Pro covers 250, but the management features are the same on all three.
