Do QR codes expire? · 55 seconds. Plays from YouTube, and nothing is loaded from them until you press play.

A static QR code cannot expire: the link is in the pattern itself. A dynamic one depends on somebody keeping its redirect alive. On Lynkarr the free plan has no expiry, and codes keep resolving even if you stop paying.

What the video says

Do QR codes expire?

A static code can't. The link is written into the pattern itself, so it works for as long as that page does.

A dynamic code is different. It holds a short address, and somebody has to keep forwarding it.

That is where codes die. Some free generators stop forwarding after a trial, and every printed copy stops with it.

On Lynkarr, they don't. The free plan has no expiry. And if you stop paying, everything you made carries on resolving.

The only end date is one you choose. On Business and above, a code can stop on a date, or after a number of scans.
