Password-protected QR codes
Password protection is included from the Pro plan and works with every dynamic QR type.
Password gate at the redirect layer
The password prompt is served by the redirect engine, not by your destination page. The destination URL is never revealed until the correct password is entered.
Works with any dynamic QR type
Protect a URL, a PDF, a file download, or a Link Hub. The gate sits in front of whatever the code points at.
Change or remove the password anytime
Rotate the password after an event, or drop the gate entirely when the embargo lifts. The printed code keeps working — only the rule changes.
Analytics still work
Scans are recorded whether or not the gate is passed, so you can see demand for protected content — devices, countries, and unique visitors, with no raw IPs stored.
Combine with scheduling and expiry
Stack the password with an active window or a scan limit: a launch-day code can require a password before the event and expire after it.
A gate, not encryption
Honest scope: the QR image itself is not encrypted — protection happens at redirect time. For truly sensitive data, keep the destination itself behind your own authentication too.
Frequently asked questions
What is a dynamic QR code?
A dynamic QR code encodes a short redirect URL served by QRCode Suite. The actual destination is stored in your workspace and can be changed at any time, so you can update where a printed QR code points without reprinting it.
How many dynamic QR codes can I create?
The Free plan includes 3 dynamic QR codes. Pro and above include unlimited dynamic QR codes. Static QR codes never count against the limit.
What is a conditional redirect?
A conditional redirect sends scanners to different destinations based on rules — such as device type (iOS vs Android), country, time of day, or scan count. Conditional redirects are available on the Pro plan.
What formats can I export QR codes in?
All plans support PNG and SVG export. Pro adds CSV data export. Business adds XLSX export, branded PDF reports, and bulk generation with CSV import.
Can I add a logo or custom colors to my QR codes?
Yes, on Pro and above. Custom logo embedding, gradients and frames are part of the Pro design toolkit; the Free plan uses standard colours.
