What is a QR Code? Your Gateway from Physical to Digital 📱
A QR (Quick Response) code is a type of two-dimensional matrix barcode. Invented in 1994 by the Japanese automotive company Denso Wave, it has become a ubiquitous tool for bridging the physical and digital worlds. Unlike a standard barcode that can only hold a small amount of information horizontally, a QR code can store a large amount of data in both horizontal and vertical directions.
How Do QR Codes Work?
A QR code consists of black squares arranged in a square grid on a white background. An imaging device, such as a smartphone camera, can read this pattern. The code includes specific markers at the corners to help the scanner detect its position and orientation. The data itself is encoded into the pattern of black and white squares, which is then decoded by the device's software to reveal the stored information—be it a website URL, a piece of text, or contact details.
The Importance of Error Correction
One of the most powerful features of QR codes is their built-in error correction capability. This allows the code to be scanned even if it is partially damaged or obscured. Our generator lets you choose from four levels:
- Level L (Low): Can restore up to 7% of damaged data.
- Level M (Medium): Can restore up to 15% of damaged data. This is a good general-purpose choice.
- Level Q (Quartile): Can restore up to 25% of damaged data.
- Level H (High): Can restore up to 30% of damaged data. Use this for QR codes in environments where they might get dirty or worn.
Higher error correction levels make the QR code's pattern more dense, as more data is required for redundancy. This tool gives you the power to choose the right balance between readability and resilience for your specific needs.
