What are QR codes?
Simply put, QR (Quick Response) codes are two-dimensional barcodes. These barcodes are arranged in a square, and comprised of black data on a white background. QR codes have a few advantages over traditional bar codes:
- Can be read very quickly by a variety of devices
- Can store large amounts of data in a small code
- The encoded information can store many different types of data
- Up to 30% of the data can be corrupted while leaving the code readable (i.e. you can take a significant amount of artistic license with your code and still have it function)
