SWAPQR

01 — Destination

Print it once.
Change where it goes later.

A static QR is frozen the moment it hits paper. A dynamic one keeps the same printed square and lets you re-point it — plus you see how many times it was scanned.

Static is free and unlimited. Dynamic keeps the printed square and lets you change the destination.

Works with any link: menu, form, video, Wi-Fi page, price list.

Error correction

Higher correction survives scratches and print wear, at the cost of a denser code.

Statik kod ücretsiz Sınırsız, hesap yok, filigran yok
Basılı kare değişmez Hedefi sen değiştirirsin, kâğıt kalır
Okutmayı görürsün Gün ve cihaz kırılımıyla

02 — Nasıl çalışır

Üç adım, sonra kâğıda hiç dokunmuyorsun


1

Kodu bastır

Masa kartı, etiket, ambalaj, tabela — nereye gidiyorsa oraya.

2

Hedefi değiştir

Menü değişti, kampanya bitti, adres taşındı — kod aynı kalır.

3

Kaç kez okutuldu, gör

Gün gün, cihaz cihaz. Hangi afiş çalışıyor, hangisi boşuna basıldı.

05 — Your dynamic codes

Same square, new destination


No dynamic codes yet. Switch the studio to Dynamic and create one — the printed square never has to change again.

04 — Nerede işe yarar

Bir kez basılan her şey

Kâğıdı yeniden bastırmak ucuzsa statik yeter. Değilse kod dinamik olmalı.

  • Kafe / restoran menüsü
  • Fiyat listesi ve raf etiketi
  • Ambalaj ve ürün kutusu
  • Emlak tabelası ve vitrin
  • Etkinlik afişi, davetiye
  • Makine / cihaz üstü kullanım etiketi

06 — Plans

Static is free. Forever.

You only pay when the printed square has to keep working: editable destination, no scan cap, real numbers.

Before you decide

What happens to a printed code if I cancel?

It does not turn into a dead link. The code goes to a neutral "on hold" page, and starts working again the moment you subscribe or free up a slot.

Do static codes ever expire?

No. A static code carries your link inside itself; it works with no server, no account and no subscription, forever.

Do I need an account?

No. You get a licence code instead. Keep it and you can restore your codes on another device; we never ask for an email or password.

Can I change the code itself later?

You change where it points, not the printed square. That is the whole idea: the paper stays valid.

Does a photo QR code really scan, or is it just decoration?

It really scans. The picture is not laid over a finished code — the code is dithered into the picture, so every module a scanner needs is still exactly where the standard puts it. Every build is checked against two independent decoders at seven simulated camera distances before it ships.

How does the picture end up inside the code?

The photo is reduced to two colours with Floyd–Steinberg error diffusion. The pixels the code needs are not thresholded but forced to the right value, and their error is pushed into the neighbouring pixels. The forced dots land in the same speckle as the rest of the picture, so the eye stops telling them apart.

Why the warning about extreme close-up?

Many readers threshold the image in 8×8 pixel blocks. Photographed from very close, one block can fall entirely inside a single module and then follows the dither texture instead of the module. Keeping more than half of each module solid removes it — that is what the Code end of the balance does.

Which photos work best?

Pictures with a real light-to-dark range and one clear subject: portraits, a logo on a plain field, high-contrast product shots. Flat, evenly lit images turn into an even chequer that fights the code, and fine detail simply does not survive at the size a module allows.

07 — Guide

What actually happens when you print a QR code


Static vs dynamic

A static QR code stores your link inside the black squares. The moment it is printed, that link is fixed: changing it means printing a new code. A dynamic QR code stores a short link instead, and that short link forwards to wherever you point it — today your menu, next month your new menu.

When dynamic is worth it

Table tents, price lists, packaging, stickers on machines, business cards, event flyers, real-estate signs — anything printed in quantity or bolted to a wall. If you can reprint the paper cheaply, static is fine.

Reading reliability

Three things break scans in the field: too little contrast between the two colours, a logo covering more of the code than the error correction can rebuild, and printing smaller than about 2 cm for a short link. This studio warns you about contrast and raises error correction automatically when a logo is added.

Photo codes

Add a photo and the code is dithered into the picture instead of being stamped on top of it: the modules a scanner needs stay exactly where the standard puts them, and the remaining pixels carry the image. It is a real trade against reliability, so the studio tells you where the limits are.
