What's the difference between a QR code and a short link?

1 min read Last updated on August 15, 2026

A short link is meant to be typed, clicked, or shared as text. A QR code is the same idea but scannable with a phone camera, perfect for posters, packaging, business cards, or storefronts.

We support both static QR codes (for plain text, Wi-Fi credentials, contact cards, etc, these can't be tracked or edited after creation) and dynamic QR codes (linked to a URL you can update anytime, with full click tracking, custom colors, logos, and frames).
