Every QR code holds some text — usually a web address. The difference between a static and a dynamic QR code is what address it holds, and that decides whether you can change it after printing.
| Static QR | Dynamic QR | |
|---|---|---|
| What it holds | The final address or data itself | A short link (like hi4.in/menu) that forwards to the final address |
| Change it after printing | No — you must reprint | Yes — edit where the short link goes |
| Scan counts | No | Yes, in your dashboard |
| Needs a service to keep working | No | Yes — the short link must stay active |
| Best for | UPI payments, Wi-Fi, contact details | Menus, offers, flyers, review cards, packaging |
Make a dynamic QR code with hi4.in
- Log in and create a short link in My Links → Create Link (give it a name like
hi4.in/our-menu). - Make a QR code of that short link — in QR Codes → Generate QR, or with the QR code generator or menu QR code tool.
- Test-scan it, then print.
- To change what it opens, edit the destination of the short link in My Links. The printed code does not change.
When a static QR is the right choice
- UPI payments. UPI apps read a payment code (it starts with
upi://) directly. Use the UPI QR code generator. - Wi-Fi. Phones join a network from a special Wi-Fi code, so it must be static. Use the Wi-Fi QR code tool.
- Things that never change, like your main website address.
What happens if you stop paying?
Your hi4.in links and the QR codes made from them keep working. Your account moves to the Free plan. See pricing for how many dynamic QR codes each plan includes.
