What are QR codes for cities?
QR codes for cities are dynamic QR codes on street signs, bus stops, park and monument plaques, posters and visitor leaflets that open content the city can change at any time: a visitor guide, a timetable, the seasonal events page, the story behind a monument, the city app or a form to report an issue. Each sign or place can have its own code, so every scan shows where it happened. QRCodeKIT, launched in 2009 as uQR.me, is the dynamic QR code platform that creates, hosts and measures them, hosted in the EU.

Questions city teams ask us
QRCodeKIT is a dynamic QR code platform launched in 2009 as uQR.me and hosted in the European Union. Councils, tourist offices and cultural sites can use it to run the codes residents and visitors scan on signs, stops and plaques.
What are QR codes used for in cities?
To connect street signs, stops and plaques with content that changes: visitor guides and maps, timetables, seasonal events, the story behind a monument, city app downloads and forms to report an issue. A dynamic QR code lets you update that content the same day and count every scan without reprinting signs.
Can I change what a QR code on a street sign opens?
Yes, if it is a dynamic QR code. The sign stays up and you point its code to new content from the dashboard, such as this season’s events or an updated PDF guide, as many times as you need.
Can a QR code on a monument play an audio guide?
Yes. A file download QR code opens an MP3, a PDF or a video on the visitor’s phone, and you can replace the file at any time without changing the code. A multilingual QR code opens the version in the visitor’s language.
Can each sign or stop have its own QR code?
Yes. Create codes in bulk, one per sign, stop, plaque or poster, and group them by district or service, so you can see which places bring the scans.
How do I protect residents and visitors from fake QR stickers?
With your own domain on Pro and Enterprise, people can see that the link belongs to the city, and you can change any code at once if a fake sticker appears.
Can a QR code answer visitors’ questions?
Yes, with Cleo, QRCodeKIT’s AI agent that lives inside your QR codes. Train her on your visitor guide, timetables and events calendar, and she answers in the visitor’s own language, at any hour.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new account starts with a 7-day free trial of Pro, with no credit card required, with up to 100 QR codes and 100 scans each. Teams that need SSO, API access or higher limits can compare the plans or book a demo.
