Email QR Code
Open a pre-filled email in one scan.
An email QR code opens the user's default mail app with the To, Subject, and Body fields pre-filled, making it easy for customers to contact you, submit enquiries, or send feedback without typing a single character.

One scan, one tap, straight to your phone.
A phone call QR code pre-dials a phone number so users just tap 'Call'. Eliminates typos and the friction of manually entering a number from a poster or card. Works with mobile and landline numbers.
PDF Document QR Code
Your document, accessible from anywhere.
A PDF QR code opens a PDF document: upload the file (up to 10 MB) and we host it, or link to one you already host. Perfect for menus, catalogs, brochures, instruction manuals, and certificates. With a dynamic code, you can replace the PDF anytime without updating any printed materials.
Social Media QR Code
Point people straight to your profile.
A social media QR code redirects straight to one social profile: Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, whichever platform you want people to land on. With a dynamic code, you can point it at a different profile at any time. If you want one code covering several platforms at once with a branded bio page, use a Landing Page QR code instead.
App Store QR Code
iOS and Android, one QR code handles both.
An App Store QR code detects the user's device and redirects them to the correct store automatically: Apple App Store for iPhone users, Google Play Store for Android users. Desktop visitors see a page with both options. One QR code for all your app install campaigns.
Landing Page QR Code
A mini website. No code required.
A Landing Page QR code creates a fully hosted, branded mini website, with your name, tagline, logo, links, social profiles, and contact information. It's the most complete QR code type for personal branding, business profiles, and event pages.
Plain Text QR Code
Show a note, serial number or message with one scan. Static works offline; dynamic can be edited later.
A plain text QR code encodes any text directly into the code. When scanned, it shows the text on screen without opening a browser. Great for short messages, serial numbers, asset codes, and offline information that doesn't need a URL.
Google Maps QR Code
One scan opens turn-by-turn navigation.
A Google Maps QR code encodes a location (address, coordinates, or place URL) so anyone who scans it is taken directly to Google Maps with navigation ready to start. Perfect for storefronts, events, and delivery instructions.
Event / Calendar QR Code
Add to calendar with one tap.
An event QR code creates an .ics calendar file that opens directly in the phone's calendar app (iOS Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook) and lets users save the event with a single tap. Perfect for conferences, networking events, and appointments.
Coupon / Discount QR Code
Show a branded promo code in one scan.
A coupon QR code displays a fully branded redemption page showing your discount amount, promo code, expiry date, and terms, ready to be copied or shown at the till. Perfect for retail promotions, F&B offers, and loyalty campaigns.

Survey QR Code
Multiple questions, one dashboard.
A survey QR code opens a short, branded questionnaire: mix single choice, multiple choice, yes/no, star rating, NPS, and free text in one flow. Answers land on the same Results dashboard as every other response type: charted automatically where a chart makes sense, searchable and exportable where it doesn't.
A/B Split URL QR Code
Split traffic. Test two URLs. Pick the winner.

Platform Mechanics
How Dynamic & Static QR Routing Actually Works
Every QR code falls into one of two technical categories: dynamic routing links or hard-coded raw payloads. Knowing the difference protects your print budget and prevents deactivations.
Dynamic QR Codes (Editable & Trackable)
Dynamic codes encode a short redirection URL rather than raw content. When scanned, our server instantly routes the user to your active destination and records telemetry data in real time.
Dynamic Redirection Hop Architecture
Static QR Codes (Direct Payload)
Static codes encode raw text or commands directly into the physical dot pattern (e.g. WiFi credentials, Bitcoin wallet addresses, or plain text).
Direct Offline Camera Execution
Print Production Standards
Tested for Print, Distance & Optical Durability
Follow these verified mathematical and raster standards to ensure rapid camera detection across all smartphone models and lighting conditions.
The 10-to-1 Distance Formula
As a standard optical rule, the minimum width of your QR code should equal 1/10th of the expected scanning distance. For a flyer scanned from 10 inches away, print at least 1 × 1 inch. For a billboard scanned from 50 feet away, print at least 5 × 5 feet.
Reed-Solomon Error Correction
ScanOrbit supports all 4 standard Reed-Solomon error correction levels (L: 7%, M: 15%, Q: 25%, H: 30%). When embedding logos in the center or printing on items exposed to weather and wear, use Level H to recover up to 30% of obscured data.
The 4-Module Quiet Zone
Maintain an unobstructed margin of at least 4 module widths around the exterior border of the QR code. Bleeding adjacent text, background patterns, or borders directly into the finder eyes prevents phone cameras from locating the matrix boundaries.
