Common use cases
QR code generator built into every short link
Most QR code generators create a static code that points directly to a URL - change the destination and the QR code breaks. HidURL's QR codes are different. Because they're tied to your short URL rather than the raw destination, they inherit all of HidURL's flexibility. Update the destination using the link editor and every printed QR code automatically redirects to the new page. No reprinting required.
Every QR code scan passes through your HidURL short link, which means scan data feeds directly into your click analytics dashboard. You'll see exactly how many people scanned your QR code, on what devices, and at what times - alongside clicks from other channels. There's no need to set up a separate QR tracking tool or juggle two sets of data.
QR codes from HidURL are exported at 512×512 pixels - high enough for crisp printing on materials up to A4 size. The download is a clean PNG with no watermarks. Pair a QR code with a custom alias and you get a scannable code that points to hidurl.com/your-brand rather than a random character string, reinforcing your brand identity in every offline placement.
