What is a QR Code?

QR Code stands for Quick Response Code. They were created in 1994 by Denso Wave. It’s a type of barcode that can store a large amount of information, like a website URL, text, contact details, or even payment data. Unlike traditional barcodes that only hold information in a single line, QR codes store data in both horizontal and vertical patterns, making them much more powerful.

Originally confined to use within industrial settings and large-scale manufacturing, the use of QR Codes has exploded over the years and are now common place all around the world. Common uses of QR Codes include gathering feedback, linking to websites and downloading apps.

Static QR Codes

Static QR Codes cannot be updated once they have been created and deployed for use. They are created for a single and specific purpose, for example, linking to a website, connecting to a WiFi network or sharing contact information via a vCard.

They cannot be used in conjuntion with our custom landing pages or scan statistics features. See what you can do with a Static QR Code.

You can still do the following with Static QR Codes with qrThings.io:

  • Customise the shape and colour of a Static QR Code.
  • Download PNG & SVG files to use wherever you want.
  • Bulk create Static QR Codes.
  • Create Static QR Codes via our API.

If you want more control over your QR code once it's deployed, consider using a Dynamic QR Code.

Dynamic QR Codes

Dynamic QR Codes can be updated once they have been created and deployed. They work by directing the scanner to a unique qrThings.io URL, linked to your QR Code.

Depending how you've setup your Dynamic QR Code, our system will handle what happens next. From directing the user to a specified URL, displaying an image gallery, showing event information or downloading a PDF.

We have many options available, see what you can do with a Dynamic QR Code.

  • Get QR Code scan statistics.
  • Deploy fully customized landing pages.
  • Update what your QR code shows/does at any time without updating the QR Code displayed to customers.
