Frequently Asked Questions

Which QR code type is most popular?

URL QR codes are by far the most popular. They link to websites, landing pages, menus, social profiles, and virtually any online content. They're also the only type that supports dynamic editing and scan analytics with TapNN Pro.

Can I create all QR code types for free?

Yes! All 13 QR code types are available on the free plan as static QR codes. Pro adds dynamic editing and scan analytics for URL-based QR codes.

Which types support scan tracking?

Only URL-based QR codes (URL, Menu, Social Media) support scan tracking when created as dynamic QR codes with Pro. vCard, WiFi, Email, and Phone codes encode data directly and don't pass through a tracking server.

What's the difference between static and dynamic for each type?

vCard, WiFi, Email, and Phone QR codes are always static — the data is encoded directly in the pattern. URL-based types (URL, Menu, Social) can be dynamic with Pro, meaning you can change the destination and track scans.

Can I switch between QR code types after creating?

No. Each type encodes different data formats. You would need to create a new QR code of the desired type.
