Do Canva QR Codes Expire?
If you're designing brochures or business cards in Canva, the last thing you want is a broken link. Here's how long Canva QR codes last, and what to watch for.
The Verdict
Canva generates static QR codes by default using their built-in QR tool. These codes do not expire on their own.
But there's a huge catch...
While the code doesn't expire, it is not editable. If you make a typo or your website link changes next year, that QR code you printed on 5,000 flyers is now a paperweight. Canva's built-in tool doesn't let you change the destination later.
The Fixed Link
Many designers use Canva's free QR generator for client projects. If the client changes their website URL or Instagram handle, the designer has to redo the entire physical print run.
How to avoid the
"Broken Link" disaster:
Always triple-check your link before hitting "Download" in Canva.
Avoid using "Magic Media" or dynamic trial apps within Canva that require a subscription.
The Pro Move: Generate your code here, pay once, and upload it to Canva as an image.
