Resolutions and types of QR Codes

Knowing the differences between static, dynamic and dynamic pro QR Codes will help you select the ideal tool for your QR Code project.

Resolutions

On the Unitag platform, there are three types of resolution: STATIC, DYNAMIC and DYNAMIC PRO.

Dynamic

The Dynamic QR Code is a QR Code linked to a short URL, also known as a “short url” (depending on Unitag's servers). The short URL is a relay address. When scanned, the short URL is displayed and then redirects to the QR Code's destination content.

This short URL provides access to advanced functionalities such as content modification, statistical visit feedback and multiple redirection.

The short URL can be customized by clicking on CHANGE SHORT URL.

Dynamic Pro

The Dynamic Pro type is a dynamic QR Code associated with a personalized domain name integrated directly into the short URL. Its other features remain the same as a dynamic QR Code.

The personalized domain name must be defined before the Dynamic Pro QR Code is created; to do this, please refer to our documentation for Unitag Domains.

Static

This type of QR Code permanently encodes its content. Once created, the static QR Code can no longer be modified. When scanned, the destination content is immediately displayed. This type of QR Code is independent of Unitag's servers, and does not allow access to advanced functions such as content modification or statistical feedback.

You can program the resolution of your QR Code on your Generator in General information > Resolutions.
