How to create expiring QR codes for events and stay in control
When you use QR codes for events — on posters, flyers, or tickets — those links often stay active long after the event is over.
Even after everything ends, people can still scan the code and access outdated content.
The problem
Once you publish a QR code:
- It stays active indefinitely.
- People can scan it even after the event.
- Outdated information remains accessible.
- You have no control over when it should stop working.
The event ends.
But the QR code doesn’t.
It keeps working when it shouldn’t.
The solution
TempQR lets you create expiring QR codes and links for events.
You decide how long the QR code should work — and once the time is up, it automatically expires.
This also works well for time-limited links for promotions and expiring links for forms and applications tied to an event deadline.
- No need to remove posters.
- No need to update links manually.
- No risk of outdated access.
How it works
Creating an expiring QR code takes just a few seconds:
- Paste the link you want to share.
- Set the expiration time as the event duration.
- Click “Create Expiring Link” and get your QR code.
That’s it. Your QR code will only work during the time you set.
Who is this for?
This is especially useful for:
- Event organizers.
- Conferences and meetups.
- Restaurants using temporary menus.
- Businesses running campaigns or promotions.
- Anyone using QR codes for time-limited access.
Real-life example
You print a QR code on an event flyer.
People scan it during the event and access the information.
After the event ends, the QR code automatically stops working.
Even if someone scans it later, nothing opens.
Your content was available only when it mattered.
Why it matters
Without expiration, QR codes can:
Without expiration
QR codes can lead to outdated or irrelevant content, create confusion for users, and stay active long after they’re needed.
With TempQR
QR codes work only during the intended time, access stays relevant, and you stay in control of what people see.
