No, you cannot convert a dynamic QR code into a static QR code or vice versa. Dynamic QR codes and static QR codes are two distinct types of QR codes with different features and uses.

Dynamic QR codes are designed to be edited and updated, allowing you to change the destination they lead to over time. This makes them a flexible solution for situations where you need to make changes to the information or URL linked to a QR code.

Static QR codes, on the other hand, are permanent and unchanging. Once a static QR code has been created and the URL or information it links to has been encoded, it cannot be changed.

It is not possible to convert a dynamic QR code into a static QR code or vice versa because they have different underlying structures and encoding methods. To switch from one type of QR code to another, you would need to generate a new QR code that is specifically designed as a dynamic or static code, depending on your needs.
