What Is a QR Code?

Quick Response (QR) Code is a type of barcode that stores information in a scannable pattern. Using a smartphone or tablet, users can scan a QR Code to instantly access websites, menus, contact information, payment portals, or other digital content.

QR Codes work by encoding information visually, allowing devices to read it quickly and efficiently. Unlike traditional barcodes, QR Codes can store significantly more data, including URLs, text, and contact information.
