Fixed or editable
Most types work as fixed codes: the content sits in the image. Editable codes point to a web address, so in the app you can make URL, Google review and Instagram codes editable. A PDF code always points to a file we host, so it is always editable.
For a contact card, a menu or a link list that you want to update without reprinting, make a hosted page and point an editable code at it.
Each type has its own page with examples and print tips in the list of QR code types.
