What Hovercode Does

Hovercode is a QR code generator focused on dynamic QR codes, trackable links, and branded code design. The product lets users create QR codes without signing up, then add editing and tracking features by creating an account.

The site positions Hovercode as a tool for marketers, businesses, and anyone sharing links through QR codes or short links. In addition to standard QR destinations such as URLs, PDFs, vCards, app stores, email, SMS, Wi‑Fi, phone calls, text, and GS1 Digital Link, it also supports landing pages, forms, and link shortening.

Its core purpose is to make QR codes more flexible after printing or sharing. Users can change destinations later, measure scans, apply branding, and, on paid plans, connect custom domains and access more advanced workflow features such as team management, API access, and webhooks.

Features

Editable dynamic QR codes

Create QR codes that can be edited after printing, so the scan destination can change without reissuing the code. Hovercode ties this to dynamic redirect links.

Scan tracking and analytics

Track scan activity for dynamic QR codes and short links. Hovercode says you can see totals and unique scans, and paid plans add more detailed analytics.

Logo and design customization

Add a logo and brand colors to QR codes, with templates and styling controls such as pattern, eye, frame, and background settings.

Custom domains for redirect links

Use custom redirect domains so scanners see your own domain instead of Hovercode’s default redirect domains.

Multi-use QR and link tools

Create micro landing pages and short links from the same product. The pricing page also includes a form builder and GS1 Digital Link QR codes.

Business workflow tools

Export and scale usage on paid plans with bulk QR code generation, CSV exports, API access, team management, and webhooks on the highest listed plan.

Use Cases

Update printed QR codes without reprinting
Create a QR code for a poster, package, or handout, then change the destination later if the link changes or the campaign needs an update.
Measure campaign performance
Track scans for a marketing campaign and compare which codes or channels are getting more activity, using basic analytics on the free plan or more detailed reporting on paid plans.
Brand QR codes for printed materials
Add a logo and brand colors when you need a QR code that matches packaging, signage, or other branded materials.
Use your own domain in scan links
Use a custom redirect domain when you want scanners to see your own domain instead of Hovercode’s default redirect domain.
Route scans to richer destinations
Build a micro landing page, form, or short link when a single QR code needs to send people to more than one resource or collect responses.
