Will My QR Code Expire?
Upload a photo of your QR code, scan it, or paste its link. You will see whether it can stop working, which company it depends on, and the exact path a scan takes today.

Two kinds of QR code
The kind decides whether it can ever stop working.
Static
Never expires- + No company in the middle
- − Can never be changed
Dynamic
Works while the provider runs it- + Edit the link, count scans
- − Stops if the redirect stops
QRForever
Dynamic, without the surprises
- No scan limits
- No expiry date on your codes
- Change the link any time after printing
- If a plan lapses, codes pause, not deleted
- Resubscribe and the same printed codes work again
- See every scan by city, device and time
Before you print, ask one question: what happens to this exact code if I stop paying? Providers answer differently, so check their help page and test the code here first.
Questions people ask
The code itself never does. A QR code is a printed pattern, and a pattern cannot expire. What can stop is a service it depends on. A static code holds its link or data directly and keeps working for as long as the destination exists. A dynamic code sends every scan through a QR company first, so it works only while that company keeps the redirect running, which usually means while the account is paid for.
