What Are QR Codes?
QR (Quick Response) codes are two-dimensional barcodes that store information in a scannable format. Invented in Japan for the automotive industry, they have become ubiquitous in marketing, payments, and everyday convenience. A smartphone camera can instantly decode a QR code and open a URL, display text, or trigger an action—no app required on most modern devices.
Best Uses for QR Codes
Marketing materials. Add QR codes to flyers, posters, and business cards so customers can visit your website or landing page with a single scan. Contact sharing. Encode a vCard to share contact details instantly. Menus and payments. Restaurants and retailers use QR codes for contactless ordering and payments. Wi‑Fi credentials. Encode your network name and password so guests can connect without typing.
Design Tips for QR Codes
Keep sufficient contrast between foreground and background so scanners can read the code reliably. Test your QR code on multiple devices before printing. Avoid overly small sizes—most codes should be at least 1.5–2 cm for reliable scanning. Use our color picker to match your brand while maintaining readability.
