Canva includes a QR code app for adding static codes to your designs. QR Geni makes dynamic, editable, trackable codes — which you can still drop into Canva.
The honest take
Canva is perfect when you just need a static code inside a graphic you're already designing. The moment you need to edit the link later or track scans, you need QR Geni — export the code and place it in your Canva design.

Canva's built-in QR generator produces static codes only: the link is fixed and there's no scan tracking. It's convenient because it lives inside Canva.
QR Geni creates dynamic codes you can edit anytime, with full analytics, plus 20 specialized types and call-to-action frames. Download a PNG or SVG and use it in any Canva design.
