QR Codes, explained simply
What is a QR Code?
A QR (Quick Response) code is a matrix barcode readable by smartphones. It stores information like URLs, text, or contact details, bridging physical and digital spaces.
Why are QR Codes popular?
They offer a contactless, fast way to share information, access menus, make payments, check-in, and connect to Wi-Fi, making them incredibly versatile in today's digital world.
How do I scan one?
Most modern smartphones can scan QR codes using their built-in camera app. Just open the camera, point it at the code, and tap the notification that appears. Older phones might need a specific QR reader app.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are QR code generators really free?
Many generators offer free static QR codes (like this one). Dynamic QR codes with tracking and editing usually require a subscription or have limitations on free plans.
What is the difference between a static QR Code and a dynamic QR Code?
Static codes store data directly and cannot be changed once created. Dynamic codes point to a server URL which then redirects; this allows the final destination to be changed later and enables scan tracking.
Do QR Codes expire?
Static QR codes never expire. Dynamic QR codes might expire if the subscription for the service managing the redirect ends.
Why is my QR Code not working?
Check for typos in the data. Ensure good contrast, sufficient size, and clear printing/display. Very complex codes (lots of data) might be harder to scan.
