What is a QR code?
A QR code is a 2D barcode that stores text, links or other data, readable by any smartphone camera.
Originally invented in 1994 for tracking car parts, QR codes are now used everywhere: payments, menus, ticketing, marketing.
Higher error correction levels make the code more reliable when partially damaged or covered.
When to use which error correction level
Low (7%): small physical sizes, simple use, perfect printing conditions.
Medium (15%): the default, works well for most digital and printed uses.
High (30%): outdoor signs, stickers that may peel, or codes with a logo overlay.
FAQ
What can I put in a QR code?
URLs, plain text, contact details (vCard format), WiFi credentials, payment links, app store links, calendar events and more.
Do QR codes expire?
No. A QR code is just an image — it never expires. But if it links to a URL, the code stops working if that URL goes offline.
What is error correction?
It is built-in redundancy that lets a QR code remain scannable even when partially damaged. Higher levels = more reliable but slightly larger code.
