A QR code, or Quick Response code, is a two-dimensional barcode that can store information, such as text or a website link. It is the evolution of the barcode, made up of patterns of black and white pixels. A QR code can be quickly scanned and decoded using a smartphone or QR code reader for easy access to the embedded data.
