Answer

Does a Qrindo QR code expire?

No. A Qrindo QR code has no expiry date and keeps resolving until you delete it or delete your workspace. Codes are never expired, recycled or deactivated as a billing measure.

Why this question is worth asking

Because on several QR platforms the answer is yes. A trial ends, a plan lapses, and the printed code starts landing on an upgrade page instead of the menu it was printed for. The code is fine; the redirect behind it has been taken away.

That is a commercial decision, not a technical limit, which is why it is worth getting the answer in writing before you commit a design to a print run.

What actually ends a Qrindo code

Exactly two things: you delete the link, or you delete the workspace that owns it. There is no third case. A lapsed plan pauses paid analytics depth; it does not touch the redirect.

You can also set an expiry yourself, deliberately, on a code that is meant to be temporary — an event pass, a seasonal offer. That is a feature you switch on, not a default, and it is the only way a Qrindo code acquires an end date.

And if you would rather not depend on us at all, a code can be printed against your own domain. Then the printed artwork points at a hostname you control, and you keep the ability to redirect it yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Does the QR image file itself go stale?

No. The downloaded SVG, PNG or PDF is a file you own, with nothing time-limited in it. It encodes a short URL, and it stays valid for as long as that URL resolves.

What happens to a code if I delete my account?

Deleting the workspace deletes its links, and the printed codes stop resolving. Export first: links and destinations come out as CSV and the artwork as SVG, PNG and PDF, on every plan.
