Migrating from Bitly QR Codes
Export your codes from Bitly QR Codes as CSV (name, destination). Upload it in Bulk as dynamic codes; you will get new short links and print-ready sheets. Already-printed Bitly QR Codes codes can't be re-pointed by anyone but them — that's the lock-in we designed against.
