What is a QR code?

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a type of barcode that smartphones can scan with their camera. Unlike a traditional barcode that only stores a number, a QR code can hold hundreds of characters — enough for a full website URL, contact information, WiFi credentials, or a long message.

When someone points their phone camera at a QR code, it instantly reads the encoded information and typically opens a link, saves a contact, or connects to WiFi — all without typing anything.

New to this? Here's why you might need one

Think of a QR code as a shortcut. Instead of telling someone to type a long URL, hand them something with a QR code on it and they scan it in one second. Small businesses put them on business cards, flyers, menus, and storefronts. Content creators put them in videos and presentations. Teachers put them on handouts to link to resources.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I scan a QR code?
Open your phone's camera app and point it at the QR code — most modern smartphones (iPhone and Android) automatically detect QR codes through the camera without needing a separate app. A link or action will appear at the top of the screen.
Can I change a QR code after I print it?
Standard QR codes are static — the data is baked into the image. If you need to change the destination URL after printing, you'd need a "dynamic QR code" service that lets you update the link the QR code points to. Those typically require a paid subscription.
What resolution should I download for printing?
Select the Large (500px) option for printing. For digital use like websites and social media, Medium (300px) is fine. When printing large formats like posters, you may want to convert the PNG to SVG using a separate vector tool for best quality.
Is there a character limit?
Yes — QR codes can hold roughly 3,000 characters for text or 7,000 numeric characters. For URLs, keep them as short as possible. Long URLs make QR codes more complex and harder to scan — use a URL shortener if needed.
