From Text to QR Code: A Simple Way to Share Information
What is a QR Code?
QR code (short for Quick Response code) is a type of two-dimensional barcode that can be read using a smartphone or other camera-equipped device. QR codes can store various types of information, such as a website URL, contact information, a Wi-Fi network password, or just plain text.
How Do QR Codes Work?
QR codes store information in a pattern of black and white squares. When you scan a QR code with your phone, the camera and a QR code reader app can quickly decode the pattern and present the information to you. This makes it easy to share information without having to type it out manually.
