What are QR Codes<\/h3>\n

QR codes are a popular type of two-dimensional barcode that can easily be read by mobile phones. They are often used to code actionable text, such as a link (for example, to an online restaurant menu or shopping cart link), a file (for example, a Dropbox or Google Drive link), Google Maps pin, contact information, a telephone number.<\/p>\n

Examples from the Wild<\/h3>\n

You have probably seen them on business cards, flyers, brochures, product packaging, food packaging, stickers (for example, link to re-order consumables), posters, stationery, banners, tickets, print adverts, billboards, catalogs, digital signage, TV commercials, coupons, giveaways, conference badges.<\/p>\n

The possibilities are endless to drive consumer action with QR Codes.<\/p>\n

How to scan a QR Code<\/h3>\n

On Android and iOS devices, simply open the camera app and point it at a QR code for a few seconds, until it comes into focus \u2014 there’s no need to take a photo. The camera app will automatically detect the code and show a notification. Tap the notification to open the link associated with the QR Code.<\/p>\n
