QR Code Tracking and Scan Analytics
QR code tracking shows you how often each code is scanned, when, on what kind of phone and roughly where, so you can tell which poster, flyer or table card is actually working. Every Pro code is trackable and editable, with unlimited scans.

How to track QR code scans
- 1
Create a dynamic code
Enter the link or upload the file the code should open. Every Pro code is tracked from its first scan.
- 2
Use one code per placement
Make a separate code for each flyer, poster or location you want to compare, and sort them into folders.
- 3
Print and share
Put the codes out in the world as usual. Scanners don't need an app or an account.
- 4
Read the analytics
Open a code to see scans over time, busiest hours and weekdays, devices, browsers, operating systems, a scan map and recent scans.
What QR code analytics show
Each Pro code has its own analytics page with:
- Scans by day, so you can spot trends and spikes
- The busiest times of day and days of the week
- Devices, browsers and operating systems
- Approximate location by country and city, plus a scan map
- A list of recent scans
How tracking works
A trackable QR code is a dynamic code. Instead of your final link, the pattern holds a short qr-simple.com link. When someone scans it, we record the scan and forward them to your destination. Static codes skip that step, which is why they can't be tracked.
Because the code points to a link you control, you can also change its destination any time, which is handy when the numbers show one landing page working better than another.
Privacy by design
Scan analytics are about your codes, not the people scanning them. We record things like the time, device type, browser and an approximate country and city. We don't identify individual people, and scanners never have to sign in or install anything.
If you also use web analytics on your site, add UTM tags to the destination link so QR visits show up as their own source there too.
Make your tracking useful
Numbers only help if you can act on them:
- Give every placement its own code, or you won't be able to tell them apart.
- Tell people what they get for scanning, right next to the code.
- Compare like with like: the same offer in two places, or two offers in the same place.
- Use the busiest hours and weekdays to time staffing, posts and promotions.

Frequently asked questions
Can you track a QR code?
Yes, if it's a dynamic code. Scans pass through a short link that records them before forwarding people to your destination, while static codes go straight to the destination and can't be tracked by the generator.
What information do you collect about scans?
The time, device type, browser, operating system and approximate location by country and city. We don't identify individual people.
Can I add tracking to a code I already printed?
Not if it's a static code, because its scans never pass through us. Replace it with a Pro dynamic code to start counting scans.
Can I track a free QR code in my web analytics?
You can't count scans, but you can count visits. Add UTM tags such as utm_source=qr to the link before making the code, and QR visits will show up as their own source in your web analytics.
Is there a limit on tracked scans?
No. Pro includes unlimited scans on up to 50 dynamic codes.
What happens if I cancel Pro?
Your codes keep scanning through a short “Continue to …” screen, and analytics and editing pause until you resubscribe.
