QR code tracking: see who scans, where and when

You printed the QR on a flyer, a poster, a business card. Did anyone scan it? With a plain QR generator, you'll never know. Dynamic, trackable QR codes fix that.

Static vs dynamic QR codes

  • Static QR encodes the destination directly. Once printed, it's frozen — and it reports nothing.
  • Dynamic QR encodes a short link that redirects. That means you can (1) change the destination after printing and (2) track every scan: count, time, location, device.

What you can learn from QR scans

  • Did it get scanned at all — the make-or-break question for any physical placement.
  • Which placement works — use a different QR per poster/location and compare.
  • When — peak scan times tell you when your audience engages.

Get notified on every scan

The real upgrade is immediacy: a scan is someone showing live interest in the physical world. With Clikt, every QR points to a tracked link, so a scan can ping you in real time — and you can change where it points anytime. Try the free QR code generator, then make a tracked one to add notifications.
