How to update dynamic QR codes in Canva using Qrdy #

With Qrdy Dynamic QR, you can generate QR codes in Canva that stay editable after printing or publishing.

Step 1: Install Qrdy Dynamic QR in Canva #

Search for "Qrdy Dynamic QR" in Canva’s app marketplace and connect it to your design workspace.

Step 3: Insert into your Canva design #

Drag the QR directly into your poster, flyer, menu, or other print material.

Why choose dynamic QR codes over static in Canva #

Dynamic QR codes let you update the destination URL after printing, while static QR codes are fixed—once printed, they can’t be changed. If you use a static code in Canva, any change (like a new website or updated menu) means reprinting all materials. Dynamic QR codes from Qrdy solve this by linking to a redirect you control.

Static QR codes #

• Locked to one destination forever
• Must reprint if info changes

Dynamic QR codes #

• Update destination anytime in Qrdy dashboard
• Printed code keeps working with new links
• Save money by avoiding reprints
• Adapt campaigns on the fly

Real-world example

You print flyers with a QR code for a holiday promotion. Later, you want to switch the code to a new coupon. With Qrdy Dynamic QR, just update the link in your dashboard—the printed QR keeps working with the new offer.
