What's included in every plan
Every plan — including the free one — ships with the core features that make dynamic QR codes useful: live destination edits, scan analytics, and codes that don't expire.
Real scan analytics
See total scans, scan locations, device types, and which QR codes drive the most engagement — across every campaign you run.
Brand-matched designs
Match every QR code to your brand: custom colours, gradients, embedded logos, frames, and a landing page that looks like you, not us.
How QR Cake pricing works
Predictable pricing, no surprise charges. Pay only when QR Cake is actually generating value for you.
Start on the free plan
Start free with up to five dynamic QR codes — no card, no trial timer. Use it for as long as you want.
Upgrade when it makes sense
When you're ready to remove the redirect ad, ship to clients, or run more than five live codes, upgrade in two clicks.
Print and update anytime
Print, ship, embed in packaging. Update the destination as often as you need — the printed code keeps working.
How billing works
All paid plans are billed monthly or annually in your local currency. You can switch tiers, pause, or cancel from your dashboard at any time. If you cancel a paid plan, the QR codes you've already printed keep working forever — scans simply show a short interstitial before redirecting, so a physical campaign you've printed never goes dead because of a billing change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Once a static QR code is created, the data/url the QR code is pointing to can no longer be changed. Our dynamic (changeable) QR codes are forwarded through the QR Cake service, which lets you update destinations anytime and enables scan analytics.
Dynamic QR codes let you change the destination after the code has been printed, so a typo, a moved page, or a new campaign no longer means reprinting. They also give you scan analytics - how many people scanned, when, and where - which static QR codes can't provide. Use a dynamic QR code whenever the underlying link, file, or content might need to change after launch.
Most free QR generators offer only static codes - fixed destinations with no scan analytics - because static codes are cheap to host. Dynamic codes need ongoing redirect infrastructure, which is why they are usually paywalled. QR Cake offsets the free-tier cost by showing a brief ad before each redirect on free codes; paid plans remove the ad. Free accounts can create up to 5 dynamic QR codes.
After you create a QR code in QR Cake, click the download button to save it instantly. Codes are available as high-resolution PNG (best for digital use) or SVG (scales to any size, best for print). Both formats include any logo, color, and styling you have applied.
Yes - anyone can create a QR code in QR Cake. No coding, no design software, and no account is needed to start. Choose the type of content (URL, PDF, video, image, file, link list, or vCard), add the destination, customize the look if you want, and download. Creating a free account lets you save codes and edit their destinations later.
QR Cake QR codes can point to websites, PDFs, videos, images, audio files, downloadable files, link lists (multiple links behind a single code), and digital business cards (vCards). When someone scans the code, their phone opens or downloads the content immediately - no separate app is required, just the built-in camera.
QR codes are generated instantly in QR Cake. As soon as you fill in the content and click Create, the code is ready to preview, download, or print. There is no processing queue or generation delay.
Yes. Every QR Cake account includes a dashboard where you can edit a code's destination, update its design, view scan analytics, and rename or delete it. Because the codes are dynamic, edits take effect immediately on every scan - without needing to reprint or replace the QR image.
The free plan allows up to 5 dynamic QR codes per account. Paid plans raise the limit substantially - see the pricing page for current allowances. Every code lives in the same dashboard so you can organize them by campaign, product, or location, and edit or delete them at any time.
Yes. A QR Cake code is a standard image (PNG or SVG), so you can embed it in a website, drop it into an email signature, post it on social media, or print it on physical materials like flyers, packaging, business cards, or signage. The same code works in every location, and if it is a dynamic code you can update its destination later without changing the image.
Most modern smartphones can scan QR codes directly from the built-in camera app. Open the camera, point it at the QR code, and tap the link that appears. No separate scanner app is needed on recent iPhones (iOS 11 and later) or most recent Android phones.
