Before you print
Know what happens when the trial ends.
A static QR code stores its destination in the pattern. A dynamic code uses a redirect service so you can change that destination. Before putting one on menus or packaging, check whether the service will still redirect after a trial or subscription ends.
Scanstone does not disable redirects because you cancel, downgrade, or reach your plan limit. You keep control of what you print.
QR Code Generator's own help center says trial codes are deactivated and point to a service page. We wrote the opposite into our terms: if you cancel, the code keeps working.
The covenant
Cancelling never stops your redirects.
Cancel your plan
Your codes keep redirecting. You lose the extras, not the code.
Blow past your limits
Scans never get blocked. Limits gate creating codes, never scanning them.
Never log in again
Codes don't rot with inactivity. Print it and forget it.
Deleted codes stop redirecting, and your destination website must remain available. Read our redirect promise.
Three steps, one stone
- 01
Carve
Name your code, point it anywhere, pick the ink and carving style. Download print-ready PNG or vector SVG.
- 02
Print
Menus, table tents, packaging, posters, business cards — the pattern is permanent, so print as many as you like.
- 03
Re-point, anytime
New menu? Event over? Edit the destination in seconds. Every printed code follows. Watch scans roll in by day, country, and device.
Know what the paper is doing
Print, finally measurable
Every scan is counted the moment it happens — when, where, what device. Compare the poster by the door against the table tents. Know the flyer campaign worked before you reorder it.
No cookies, no stored IPs, no consent banners — anonymous counts, not surveillance.

Questions, answered straight
- Can I shorten a URL without creating a QR code?
- Yes. Choose Shorten a link to create a compact scst.one URL for messages, social posts, emails, or anywhere you share links. You can update its destination and see click analytics from your dashboard.
- Do I need an account to create short links?
- Yes — sign in or create a free account to create and manage short links. The Free plan includes 3 short links or dynamic QR codes in total; Pro includes 500 in total. Anyone can open your short links without an account.
- Do Scanstone QR codes expire?
- Static QR patterns have no expiry, though the destination website must stay available. For dynamic codes, cancellation, downgrade, and plan limits do not disable redirects. Deleting a code or your account removes its redirects; dynamic codes also depend on Scanstone and your destination remaining available.
- What happens to my codes if I stop paying?
- They keep redirecting. You lose the Pro extras — full analytics history, vector downloads, CSV export — but every printed code keeps working. We think anything else is holding your print materials hostage.
- Can I change where a printed QR code points?
- Yes — that's what a dynamic code is for. The printed pattern encodes a permanent short link; you change its destination from the dashboard any time, and every existing print instantly points to the new page.
- What's the difference between static and dynamic codes?
- A static code embeds the content itself (URL, WiFi login, contact card) — free, unlimited, and permanent, but not editable after printing. A dynamic code embeds a short redirect link, so you can edit the destination later and see scan counts, locations, and devices.
- Do you track the people who scan?
- Minimally and anonymously. We record the scan's country, device type, and time — no cookies, no IP addresses stored, no fingerprinting, no consent banner needed. Enough for you to know what's working; nothing that follows anyone around.
The next thing you print deserves a code that lasts.
Three short links or dynamic QR codes free. Unlimited static codes free. www.scanstone.ca will keep them alive.
