How Skanzu works
A dynamic code is a printed QR that keeps working. The code never changes; where it points does.
Create a code
Sign in, paste the destination address and press Create QR code. A free account includes 3 dynamic codes that never expire. The name is optional — it is a label for you, never printed — and the code itself is generated once and cannot be renamed: that is what makes it safe to print.
Change where it goes
Open a code from the dashboard and edit its destination. The printed QR stays exactly the same, so you can fix a typo, move a menu or point a campaign somewhere else without reprinting anything.
Make the QR you print
Press Download QR on a code and you get an SVG with the four-module margin already included. It is vector, so a printer can set it to any size without losing an edge — 2 cm across is the practical minimum. The address on the code is always https://go.skanzu.com/abc12, and no separate generator is needed.
- Print at least 2 cm across, with the white border kept clear.
- Scan the printed paper with a phone before the full print run.
- Print once. Changing the destination later never needs a new code.
Read the numbers
The dashboard counts scans by day, country and device. Only totals are stored — no IP address, no cookies, no visitor profile. Free accounts see the last 7 days.
What the badges mean
destination ok means a check reached the address. destination down means it did not — open the code and fix the destination. The check runs when a code is created or its destination changes, and nightly for the rest, so a good badge is a snapshot, not a promise.
If a code points somewhere it should not
A code you scan can be reported to abuse@skanzu.com: include the code (for example https://go.skanzu.com/abc12) and what the page did. A person reads these. Codes that break the terms of use are removed, and a removed code stops resolving.
At 3 codes
Delete a code to free a slot. Larger paid plans are not open yet; reply to privacy@skanzu.com and tell us how many codes you need, and we will let you know when they are available.
Signing in
There are no passwords. Enter your email and we send a link that works once, for 15 minutes. If it expires, ask for a new one. If the mail never arrives, reply to privacy@skanzu.com and we will sort it out by hand.
Your codes stay yours
You can delete a code at any time, and a plan that lapses never switches off a code that is already printed. Analytics are aggregates only — read the privacy page.
