What is a QR Code?

A QR Code (short for Quick Response Code) is a type of two-dimensional matrix barcode. Unlike a standard barcode that only holds information horizontally, a QR code holds information both horizontally and vertically. This allows it to store significantly more data, including URLs, text, contact information, and more.

Invented in Japan for the automotive industry, their fast readability and large storage capacity have made them popular for a wide range of applications, especially in mobile marketing and information sharing.

Key uses for QR codes include:

• Marketing & Advertising: Linking physical ads (like posters and flyers) to online content like websites, videos, or social media pages.
• Contactless Menus & Payments: Allowing customers to view menus or pay for services by simply scanning a code with their smartphone.
• Wi-Fi Network Access: Sharing your Wi-Fi credentials without requiring guests to manually type a complex password.
• Product Information: Providing quick access to user manuals, product registration pages, or authenticity verification.
• Event Ticketing & Check-in: Using a unique QR code on a ticket for fast and secure event entry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: PNG vs. SVG - Which format should I download?

Choose PNG for most digital uses, like on a website, in an email, or on social media. It's a standard image format that works everywhere. Choose SVG if you need to print the QR code, especially in a large format like on a poster or banner. SVGs are vector files, which means they can be scaled to any size without losing quality or becoming blurry.

Q2: Do the QR codes generated by this tool expire?

No, they do not. The QR code itself is just a visual representation of the data you enter. It will work forever, as long as the destination URL or the information it points to is still valid. We do not add any tracking or expiration to our codes.

Q3: Can I use these QR codes for commercial purposes?

Yes, absolutely. The QR codes you generate are completely free and you own them. You can use them for any personal or commercial project without any restrictions or attribution required.
