QR Cake, the free dynamic QR code generator
QR Cake makes QR codes you can change after they’re printed. Add your logo, pick where the code points, and if the link ever changes, update it from your dashboard instead of reprinting.

What QR Cake does
Codes that can change after printing
A normal QR code has its link baked into the pattern, so changing the link means printing a new code. QR Cake codes point to a short link that QR Cake controls, which means you can edit a QR code’s destination at any time and the printed pattern keeps working. That matters for anything that’s hard to reprint: menus, packaging, signs, business cards and posters.
More than a link to a website
Besides websites, a QR Cake code can open a PDF, a video, an image gallery, an audio file, a downloadable file, a list of links or a digital business card. QR Cake hosts the file, so people who scan don’t need an app.
Styled to match your print
Choose colours or a gradient, change the dot and corner shapes, put your logo in the middle and add a frame with a call to action. Download PNG, SVG, JPG or WebP. The free QR code size calculator helps you pick a print size that scans reliably.
See what gets scanned
On the Pro and Business plans, every code shows how many times it was scanned, when, and from which countries and devices. Using a different code on each flyer, box or sign shows which one people actually scan.

Questions people ask about QR Cake
Can I change a QR code after it’s printed?
Yes. Every code you save to QR Cake is dynamic. Change the destination in your dashboard and the printed code opens the new page within minutes.
Is QR Cake free?
The free plan includes up to 5 dynamic QR codes with your logo, and no card is needed. On the free plan, people who scan see a short QR Cake page before your link. Paid plans remove that page and add more codes.
Do QR Cake codes expire?
No. Codes don’t stop working at the end of a trial. If you cancel a paid plan, your codes keep working and scans show the short QR Cake page first.
Can a QR code open a PDF or a video?
Yes. QR Cake hosts PDFs, images, videos, audio and other files for you, so the code opens the file directly in the phone’s browser.
