What is a QR Code?

QR codes are a type of two-dimensional barcode that can quickly and efficiently guide users to the needed webpage or information. Whether it's on a bus stop, product packaging, or offline advertising, users can quickly access the target webpage just by scanning the QR code.

The use cases of QR codes are very broad. For example, you can add a QR code to a bus stop, allowing passengers to easily check real-time route information and arrival times. Or you can place a QR code on product packaging so consumers can quickly access the product details page. In short, if you want to guide users to a specific webpage, using a QR code is a great choice.

So how do you generate a QR code? There are many online QR code generators available, including the built-in QR code features in Chrome and Edge, but their functionality is relatively simple and you cannot customize the QR code.

You can adjust the color, border, add a logo, and make the QR code more visually appealing. You only need to log in to the website, enter the target URL, and you can generate a personalized QR code:

When someone scans this type of QR code, their device will typically open a new SMS/text message window with the pre-populated phone number and message text. No need to manually enter phone numbers and messages, just scan and send.
V-card to QR Code
Generate a QR code containing vCard (virtual business card) information to easily share your contact information with others.
When someone scans this type of QR code, their device will typically prompt them to save the vCard contact information directly to their address book or contacts app. This makes it super easy for recipients to quickly and accurately capture your full contact details.
Wi-Fi to QR Code
When someone scans this type of WiFi QR code, their device will typically prompt them to automatically connect to the specified WiFi network.
The main benefit is that it saves users from having to manually type in the network name and password. They can just scan the QR code and get instantly connected.

Others can scan these QR codes to conveniently send or receive payments to your wallet.
When someone scans this type of Bitcoin QR code, their wallet app will automatically populate the payment details, including the recipient address and payment amount if you've pre-set that.
Just keep in mind that the Bitcoin address is public information encoded in the QR code. So you'll want to use a new address for each unique payment request to maintain privacy.
