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

      Hi @tracie_4093, Welcome to our Adobe Express community! 

       

      Thanks for reaching out. I want to inform you that once you create a QR code with Adobe Express, it does not expire. The QR code will work properly until the linked URL works. Also, as of now, changing the URL linked to the QR code is not possible. 

      Hope this info helps!

      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

        QR codes have to translated by the website that created them, so MANY DO expire, hence the question about these particular ones. The png file will remain forever as an image, yes, but they are talking about the link that is maintained by Adobe.
