How Scanefy works
What happens between someone pointing a camera at your code and the page opening.
From idea to printed code in a minute.
- 1
Choose what it does
A link, a contact card, a profile, a vehicle sticker or a pet tag.
- 2
Make it yours
Colours, shapes, your logo and a frame label. We check it still scans.
- 3
Print it or tap it
Download PNG, SVG or PDF, or write it to an NFC tag.
Static codes
Your content (a link, Wi-Fi details, a contact card) is encoded inside the pattern on your device. Download it and it works forever, with or without Scanefy.
Dynamic codes
The pattern holds a short permanent link such as scanefy.com/q/Kp9xQw2m. When someone scans it, our server looks up the current destination and forwards them instantly.
Private contact codes
Vehicle, lost-and-found and pet codes open a page with a contact form. Messages are stored in your inbox and relayed to your e-mail; your details are never shown.
NFC tags
An NFC tag stores the same permanent link (with /n/ instead of /q/). Tapping a phone opens the same page as scanning.
Statistics
Each visit to a dynamic link is counted in the background: device type, scan or tap, and a daily-rotating hash for unique visitors. No IP addresses are stored.
Safety
Destinations are checked when you save them. Anyone can report a code; reported codes are reviewed and can be suspended.
Your next code is one minute away.
Static codes are free and never expire. Dynamic codes, profiles and private contact tags are included in the free plan.
