QR Code Basics
QR (Quick Response) codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can be scanned using a smartphone camera. They are a popular way to share information and direct users to websites, apps, and other online content.
How Do QR Codes Work?
QR codes store information in a pattern of black and white squares. When you scan a QR code with your smartphone, the camera reads the pattern and decodes the information. This information can be a URL, text, a contact card, or other data.
Why Use QR Codes?
QR codes are versatile and effective across many materials:
- Print ads: Direct users to your website or a special offer.
- Business cards: Share your contact information instantly.
- Product packaging: Provide more product details or instructions.
- Event posters: Link to registration pages or event info.
