Frequently Asked Questions
QR code (Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode that contains information such as text, URLs, or other data. It can be read by digital devices like smartphones with cameras. QR codes are used for product tracking, item identification, time tracking, document management, and general marketing.
Most modern smartphones have built-in QR code scanners in their camera apps. Just open your camera app and point it at the QR code. You should see a notification to open the link or content. If this doesn't work, you may need to download a dedicated QR code scanner app from your app store.
Error correction allows a QR code to be read correctly even if part of it is damaged or obscured. Higher error correction levels make the QR code more resistant to damage, but also make the code more complex (more dots). Use higher error correction if you expect your QR code might get damaged or if you plan to add a logo in the center.
Yes, QR codes have data capacity limits depending on the version and error correction level. Typically, a QR code can store up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters or 7,089 numeric digits. However, for best scanning results, it's recommended to keep content concise. For large amounts of data, consider linking to a website instead of embedding all the data in the QR code.
