Do QR codes expire?

Hi all,

I've just created a QR code for my businesses' website in Adobe Express. There are a number of WR generators online that expire after a set amount of time... Is this the same on Adobe Express? Or will the QR code exist forever? Happy to pay for a QR code if necessary, but don't want to print this particular one and put it up on billboards if it is going to expire! 

 

Thank you,

Sarah

    Hi @Digital-SachinS, Welcome to our Adobe Express community! 

     

    I'd like to clarify some things about the QR code generated by Adobe Express so that you can make an informed decision according to your requirements. 

    • QR Code Expiry- QR codes created in Adobe Express are static and do not expire. As long as the original URL or link remains active, the QR code will continue to work, making it suitable for printed brochures. 
    • Since the Generate QR code is a quick action in Adobe Express, downloading it directly from the quick action window won't get saved in Adobe Express. But if you select 'Open in editor,' the generated QR would be saved under your stuff. You can then organize the QR codes in a folder for record keeping.  

    Note: Once the QR is generated with the link, it cannot be redirected to a different URL, even if it is saved under 'Your Stuff'. 

     

    Also, Adobe Express does not currently offer built-in analytics like scan count, location, or device tracking. However, as a workaround, you can use a trackable link and then generate a QR code for that link in Adobe Express.

     

    Let us know if you need more info about Adobe Express QR codes.

    If you have any feature suggestions, feel free to post them here and directly to our product team.

     

     

    Hope this helps! 

     

    Best!

    We have created QR Code using "Generate QR Code" Section from Adobe Express. We are going to Add this QR code in our Printed Brochures, those brochures will be available offline for 2-3 years minimum. I want to check what is expiry date of created QR Code. Also after login it is not showing history of created QR Codes how and where i can see my all old created QR Codes. 

    Also, is there any option to check analytics data for that QR codes. i.e. how many times it is scanned, location, devices. 

    **We are using paid adobe account

        Hello everyone! I want to generate a qr code but I don't know if it has an expiration date or if it has an additional cost since it will be used for business. It will be printed on more than 10,000 packages. Where can I find out the conditions? Thanks 🙂

        Hi Natalia, 

         

        Thank you for reaching out. Here are the answers to your questions. First, you asked about the expiration date, so here is the answer. Please be informed that 'No expiry for a QR code generated from a URL. The QR code will always direct to the URL that is generated. Secondly, you asked if any cost is associated with printing 10,000+ QR codes. You get the answer that 'The QR code generator is free to use. We do not have a cap on the number of uses per customer. Now the last question of yours about the Terms & Conditions attached to it. Please check that so far, we have none.

         

        Please write back if you still have any questions. 

         

        Thanks

        Manmeet

          Hi,

           

          the QR-Code Generator does nothing more then the URL you give convert in a picture. There are now other code involved that would suggest any kind f expire date or so. Once you generated that QR you can use it as often as you wish as long as the URL itself is valid after some year. Hope that helps.

           

          regards,Henrik

            Hi,

             

            as said before the QR code after you downloaded the Image as PNG is a static Image that never expire or change.

            regards,Henrik
