Editable destination
Change the managed destination without replacing the QR artwork.
LINKTIMER GUIDE
Dynamic QR codes for expiring and managed links
A LinkTimer QR code encodes the managed redirect rather than the final destination, so authorized owners can update the route while keeping the printed QR unchanged.
What this option gives you
Separate QR attribution
QR-originated opens are counted independently from ordinary link opens.
Print-ready formats
Choose colors, a frame label, logo, correction level, and SVG, PNG, PDF, or bulk ZIP output.
Practical use cases
Event signage
Keep one printed QR while updating event instructions.
Restaurant or venue notices
Retire a temporary route when the message is no longer relevant.
Product inserts
Direct customers to time-limited setup or campaign pages.
Conference badges
Use a managed QR that can be paused after the event.
How it works
Create a LinkTimer link
Choose expiration, access, and destination rules.
Open QR Studio
Set colors, logo, frame label, and error correction.
Download and test
Scan the final artwork at its intended print size before distribution.
Important limitation
The QR image itself cannot expire. The LinkTimer redirect behind it determines whether the scan continues to the destination.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change the destination later?
Yes, if you have permission to edit the managed link.
Does the QR stop working at expiry?
The QR still scans, but LinkTimer stops redirecting after the configured rule.
Can QR scans be tracked separately?
Yes, QR URLs use a dedicated channel marker.
Can I add a logo?
Yes. QR Studio supports a centered logo with high error correction; every design still requires a scan test before printing.
