More about Short Links with QR Codes

A short link with QR Code is a combination of a shortened URL (which is easier to type and share) and a QR Code that can be scanned by any smartphone. It improves accessibility, is perfect for offline media, and allows users to open a web page instantly with their camera.

Simply paste a long URL (like a website, form, video, or app link), generate a short version, and download the QR Code. You can print it on flyers, product packaging, or business cards — or use it digitally in your campaigns. One click or scan, and the user is taken to the destination instantly.

They save space, look professional, are easier to share verbally or in print, and when combined with a QR Code, offer both scan and click options. This dual access method maximizes reach, especially in physical or low-bandwidth environments.

Yes, as long as they are generated on trusted platforms like Code2Scan. Our system checks for blacklisted domains and HTTPS compliance. We also offer the ability to track usage and monitor abuse to ensure secure sharing.

Yes! Registered users can view analytics for each QR Code: number of scans, date, time, and device type. These insights help improve your marketing performance and identify engagement peaks.

What happens if I change the destination URL after printing the QR Code?
If you're using a dynamic short link (available to registered users), you can edit the destination even after the QR Code is printed. The QR stays the same, and the redirection is updated instantly.

Can I disable or pause a short link?
Yes. From your dashboard, you can deactivate any link temporarily or permanently. This is useful for time-sensitive promotions or expiring content.

How many scans can a QR Code handle?
Technically, there’s no limit. Our infrastructure is built to support high volumes of redirection without delay. Even viral campaigns or large-scale print runs are supported.

Are my shortened links SEO-friendly?
While short links typically redirect (via 301 or 302), they are not meant to pass SEO juice but rather to improve user experience. You can, however, customize the alias for better readability and tracking in analytics tools.

Can I create short links for different types of content?
Yes. You can shorten any valid URL — including YouTube videos, WhatsApp messages, payment pages, Google Forms, or download links. The QR Code will lead users directly to the content, regardless of platform.

What happens if someone scans a QR Code from an expired or disabled link?
If a short link is expired, deleted, or paused, the QR Code will no longer redirect to the original content. Instead, users are shown a friendly error page explaining that the link is unavailable and suggesting alternatives if configured.
