Dynamic QR codes

A dynamic code encodes a short Cue redirect link instead of your final destination. When someone scans, they hit our edge network, we evaluate your redirect rules, log a privacy-preserving scan event, and send them on — typically in well under 100 milliseconds.

Why the indirection is worth it

• Edit the destination at any time without reprinting.
• Track scans, uniques, geography, and devices per code and per campaign.
• Layer rules: schedules, geo/device routing, A/B splits, passwords, expiry, and scan limits.
• Short encoded URLs mean lower module density and more reliable scanning at small sizes.

Static codes

Cue also generates static codes for content that should never depend on a service: Wi-Fi credentials, vCards, plain text, or a fixed URL. Static codes are free, unlimited, and untracked by design.

Reliability

Redirects are served from edge locations with no database read on the hot path. If a code is paused, expired, or over its scan limit, visitors see a clean, brandable interstitial rather than an error page.
