How QR codes work

QR codes store data in a 2D pattern that cameras can read. When you scan a QR code with your phone camera, the device decodes the pattern and performs the appropriate action—opening a link, connecting to WiFi, saving a contact, or displaying text. No special app is required; iOS and Android support QR scanning natively.

Our generator creates standard QR codes that work with any QR reader. Static QR codes never expire and work forever—the data is embedded directly in the image.

How to create a YouTube QR code
