Editable QR codes
Change where your QR code leads-even after you print it.
Print one QR code. Keep its destination under control from your dashboard. Update the page, schedule when it starts, or cut it down when the campaign ends.
Free to use · No card required · JPEG and SVG downloads
Scan me
Today’s destination, without today’s reprint.
cutdown.link/still-scanning
One printed code
The QR stays.
The destination moves.
The QR code stores your short cutdown.link address, not the final page. Your dashboard controls where that address redirects next.
After one dashboard edit

Same short link. Same QR image. No reprint.
The cutdown lifecycle
Useful before, during, and after launch.
A printed QR code can support the entire campaign, not just one destination on one day.
BEFORE
Countdown
Build anticipation and show exactly when the destination opens.
LIVE
Redirect
Send every scan to the live destination and update it whenever plans change.
AFTER
Cut down
Stop the redirect on schedule and show a clear expired-link page.
Made for print
Print is permanent. Destinations are not.
Menus and price lists
Update dishes, prices, or seasonal PDFs without replacing table cards.
Posters and event signs
Move visitors from registration to the live stream, then to the recording.
Packaging and product inserts
Keep printed stock useful when instructions or product pages move.
Property and venue signage

Editable QR code FAQ
Questions before you print.
Can I change where a QR code leads after printing it?+
Yes, when the QR code contains a managed cutdown.link URL. Change that link’s destination in your dashboard and the already-printed QR code follows the new destination.
Do I need to generate or print a new QR code?+
No. The QR image encodes the short cutdown.link address, which stays the same while its destination changes.
What happens before a scheduled destination starts?+
Visitors see a live countdown. At the scheduled time, the same QR code begins redirecting automatically.
What happens when the link reaches its cutdown date?+
The redirect stops and visitors see a clear expired-link page. You can also pause and resume a managed link manually.
Are editable QR codes free?+
Yes. Create a free account to manage destinations, scheduling, QR downloads, link status, and click counts.
What is the difference between a quick link and an account link?+
A quick link needs no account but its destination cannot be edited later. A free account gives you the managed link needed for an editable QR code.
