Why trackable
A QR code with tracking built in
A static code is ink. A trackable QR code from this generator is a short QRelix link you control, so the destination can change after printing and every scan is recorded.
Every scan logged
Time, device, browser, and approximate location for each scan, in a log you can filter and export as CSV.
Edit after printing
The code encodes a QRelix link, so you can change where it goes without reprinting a single sign.
Free to start
Unlimited codes on the free plan with 20 scans a month each, then a pause until the 1st. Pro removes the limit and the QRelix screen for $5.99 a month.
Static vs dynamic
Why a static QR code can't be tracked
A static QR code stores your link in the pattern itself, so phones go straight to your page and nothing can count the visit or change where it points. A dynamic QR code stores a short link instead. Each scan passes through it, gets recorded, and is forwarded to your page, which is what makes the code trackable and editable. Every code this generator makes is dynamic. Static vs dynamic QR codes, in detail.
How it works
Make a trackable QR code in three steps
Pick a type and destination
Choose URL for any web page, or a hosted page, file, WiFi, vCard, or one of the other types, then add where the code should go.
Add your brand
Set your colors and logo. Password, expiration, scan limits, and location rules are optional on every plan.
Download and scan
Enter your email, download the PNG or print-ready SVG, and scan it once. The test scan shows up in your dashboard right away.

How the limit works: each free code shows a brief QRelix screen before forwarding. Free codes get 20 scans a month, and at 20 a code pauses until the 1st. The first code on your account to pass 20 gets 30 more scans that month, once, behind one extra tap. We let you know at 10 scans and at 20, and at 35 and 50 on the code using the extra scans. Pro removes the screen, the tap, and the limit, and paused codes come back right away. Or wait: every code starts fresh on the 1st. QRelix Pro is $5.99 a month. Your codes, designs, and analytics are never deleted, and printed codes keep working. Compare plans.
FAQ
Trackable QR code questions
- What is a trackable QR code?
- A trackable QR code is a dynamic QR code that records every scan. The code holds a short QRelix link, and each scan passes through that link, which logs the time, device, browser, operating system, and approximate location before forwarding the phone to your page.
- How do I see who scanned my QR code?
- Open the code in your dashboard and click Analytics. You see total scans and unique visitors, when each scan happened, the city, region, and country it came from, and the device, operating system, and browser, plus a scan log you can export as CSV. Tracking never shows a scanner's name, email, or phone number. To learn who someone is, point the code at a sign-up or contact form.
- Do trackable QR codes expire?
- No. A QRelix code keeps working for as long as it is in your account, and it only gets an expiration date if you set one. On the free plan, each code gets 20 scans a month. At 20 a code pauses until the 1st, and once per account the first code to pass 20 gets 30 more that month, up to 50, behind one extra tap. We let you know at 10 scans and at 20, and at 35 and 50 on the code using the extra scans. Pro removes the screen, the tap, and the limit, and paused codes come back right away. Or wait: every code starts fresh on the 1st.
- Is this trackable QR code generator free?
- Yes, with no credit card. The free plan includes unlimited dynamic QR codes, full scan analytics, editable destinations, and custom colors and logo. Each free code gets 20 scans a month, and scans show a brief QRelix screen before forwarding. At 20 a code pauses until the 1st, and one code on your account gets 30 more, once, behind one extra tap. QRelix Pro ($5.99 a month) removes the screen and the tap, unlocks unlimited scans, and turns paused codes back on right away. Your codes, designs, and analytics are never deleted, and printed codes keep working.
- Can I change the link after printing my QR code?
- Yes. Edit the destination in your dashboard and the next scan goes to the new page. The printed code stays the same, so menus, packaging, flyers, and business cards never need a reprint when the link changes.
- Do I need an account to create a QR code?
- Not up front. You pick a type, set the destination, and enter an email address in the wizard. QRelix saves the code under that email and sends you the QR code image, a download link, and the scan link. Sign up later with the same email to edit the destination and see analytics.
