Edit a QR code after it has been printed

The whole point of a dynamic QR is that the printed thing is just a pointer. The destination lives in the dashboard. Changing it is a 15-second job, and nobody has to throw away the posters.

How

1. Open the QR in your dashboard. If you can't remember which one it was, filter by the label you gave it at create time — this is why naming matters.
2. Edit the destination URL and save. Bare domains work, same as create.
3. Scan the printed code with your phone to confirm. New scans route to the new URL within a second or two.

What about people mid-scan?

If someone was loading the old page at the moment you saved, they finish loading the old page. Every scan after the save hits the new URL. There's no cache to bust on the scanner's side because the QR points at a GigaQR redirect, not at your target URL directly.

Changing the QR's look

The pattern on the printed code is tied to the short GigaQR hash, not to the destination. That means you can change colors, add a logo, or change shape — and the same printed code keeps working. Useful for seasonal campaigns where the URL moves but the artwork stays.

If you need a fully different QR (different pattern, different hash), create a new one. Anything printed with the old pattern keeps working as long as you don't delete the old QR.

Deleting vs pausing

If a campaign ends and you want scans to stop resolving, use Pause rather than delete. A paused QR shows a friendly "This QR is no longer active" page; a deleted QR 404s. Pause is almost always what you want, because someone will scan an old poster six months from now and you'd rather tell them where to go next than drop them into the void.
