FAQ’s
When I’m using Canva Free, can I still utilize the QR code generator?
The QR code generating tool is available to all Canva users, regardless of whether they have a Free or Pro membership. There’s no need to subscribe to a Pro account to take advantage of this useful tool.
Is Canva’s QR code generator capable of producing dynamic codes?
At the moment, the QR code app can only create what are known as static or permanent QR codes. This implies that if the URL you used to enter the QR code changes, you’ll have to establish a new one to update the QR code.
When a QR code is made in Canva, does it have an expiration date?
It’s permanent because the QR code generator generates static codes. To put it another way, the QR code is valid even if you don’t have a plan. You can use the code for as long as you like after you produce it and don’t update the associated URL.
