What Is a QR Code?
A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that stores information — a URL, text, contact details, WiFi credentials, and more. Any smartphone camera can scan it instantly, no special app needed.
QR codes were invented in 1994 by Denso Wave (Japan) for tracking car parts. Today they are used globally for restaurant menus, payment systems, business cards, event tickets, WiFi sharing, product packaging, and social media profiles.
