How to replace an expired QR code

Step-by-step: replace an expired or deactivated QR code with a static code that keeps working. QR Promise preview is free; downloading starts a 7-day card-required trial.

Our Promise

Static codes on QR Promise are generated in your browser, contain your data directly, and never route through us — so they can never be deactivated.

Step 1 — Recover the destination

If you still know the final website, menu PDF, or WiFi network, write it down. If the old code only opens a paywall, dig up the original link from your files.

Step 2 — Generate a static replacement

Use QR Promise for URL, WiFi, vCard, email, or SMS. Preview in the browser for free and scan-test before you print.

Step 3 — Download and print

Downloading PNG/SVG starts the 7-day card-required trial, then $3/mo unless you cancel. Reminder ~3 days before the first charge.

Step 4 — Cover the old code

Sticker over packaging or table tents if a full reprint is slow. Remove the dead code so guests are not sent to a paywall.
