What Is a QR Code?

A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that stores information in a machine-readable format. When scanned with a smartphone or QR code reader, it can instantly open a webpage, display text, save contact details, start a phone call, compose an email, or perform other supported actions.

Because QR codes are easy to scan and simple to create, they've become a popular way to connect printed materials with digital content.
