QR code (Quick Response Code) is a two-dimensional barcode that was invented in 1994 by Masahiro Hara, an engineer from DENSO WAVE. It can store much more data than the traditional one-dimensional barcode, which is limited to about 20 letters or numbers. The QR code can store up to 7,000 digits and also encode Asian characters.
The three square patterns at the corners of the QR code help the scanner to locate the code and read it 10 times faster than other barcodes.
The QR code has a built-in error correction feature that allows it to be scanned even if it is partially damaged. A recent innovation is to add a LOGO to the QR code using the 30% error correction level.
Step 1: Go to the QR code content input panel and select the type of QR code you want from the Choose QR code type menu. Different types of QR codes will open different apps when scanned.
Step 2: Enter the content for the QR code in the input box of the selected type.
Step 3: Go to the QR code settings panel and adjust the size, color, quiet zone, corner radius and other settings of the QR code.
Step 4: Go to the LOGO mode settings panel and select whether to display a LOGO or choose a LOGO style from the Choose LOGO mode menu.
Step 5: Depending on the LOGO mode you selected, adjust the size, position, color, font, or upload an image for the LOGO.
Step 6: When you are done with the adjustments, download the QR code image file.
QR codes can be used without any permission. DENSO WAVE holds the patent for the QR code but has opted not to exercise it. Therefore, the QR code is free of charge and valid indefinitely. This website does not employ any technology to collect money.
