About QR Codes

QR (Quick Response) codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can be scanned by smartphone cameras to quickly access URLs, contact information, or other data.

Error correction levels:

  • L (Low): 7% of data can be restored if damaged
  • M (Medium): 15% of data can be restored if damaged
  • Q (Quartile): 25% of data can be restored if damaged
  • H (High): 30% of data can be restored if damaged

Higher error correction levels make the QR code more resilient but also more complex (more dense).
