What is a QR Code?

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode that can store various types of information. Originally developed in 1994 for the automotive industry in Japan, QR codes have become ubiquitous in marketing, payments, and information sharing.

How Do QR Codes Work?

QR codes work by encoding data in a pattern of black squares on a white background. When scanned by a smartphone camera (using a built-in scanner or dedicated app), the pattern is decoded to reveal the stored information.
