HOW DOES IT WORK?

A QR code is a type of matrix barcode or two-dimensional barcode invented in 1994 by the Japanese automotive company Denso Wave. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that can contain information about the item to which it is attached. In practice, QR codes often contain data for a locator, identifier, or tracker that points to a website or application. A QR code uses four standardized encoding modes (numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary, and kanji) to store data efficiently; extensions may also be used. The Quick Response system became popular outside the automotive industry due to its fast readability and greater storage capacity compared to standard UPC barcodes.

Applications include product tracking, item identification, time tracking, document management, and general marketing. A QR code consists of black squares arranged in a square grid on a white background, which can be read by an imaging device such as a camera, and processed using Reed–Solomon error correction until the image can be appropriately interpreted.The required data is then extracted from patterns that are present in both horizontal and vertical components of the image.

What are the benefits of using QR codes?

They are gaining popularity because of their versatility. You can use them to gather feedback to improve your products or services, increase customer engagement with images or videos, or even promote your business via events and coupons. All of these can be done with just a single scan!

How do I scan QR codes?

Depending on your device, you might already have a built-in QR Code reader or scanner. Open the camera app on your mobile phone and hold it over a Code for a few seconds until a notification pops up. If this doesn’t happen, check your settings and see if QR Code scanning is enabled. Still not working? Don’t worry, all you have to do now is install third-party QR Code readers from your app stores.

What is Static & Dynamic QR codes?

QR codes vary in design depending on the encoded data and function, and can be categorized primarily in two ways:

1. Static
2. Dynamic.

A static QR code cannot be modified once it has been created. This is ideal for creating QR codes in mass for an event. A drawback is its lack of creativity and that it may not allow for analytics on how many times the code may have been scanned. An example of a good static QR code would be one for your Wi-Fi password.

Dynamic QR codes allow you to change and edit the code as many times as you need. When the code is scanned, it redirects you to the URL contained inside. These codes offer the freedom to package your design, like adding contrasting colors. They also have the ability to track and measure advertising statistics. These added insights allow the QR code creator access to where and with what device the code was scanned. Along with adding in campaign information and resetting scans, all the results collected can be downloaded as comma-separated values or a CSV report.
