QR stands for quick response. QR codes became popular in public society because of their quick readability. QR codes are matrix-based codes with square dots arranged in a larger square plane with a white background. QR codes can hold an immense amount of information for their size. They can link mobile systems to texts, URLs, and any other written information.

Who invented the QR code?
The QR code was invented by Toyota. The codes were invented to track cars and are very popular because of the speed at which the codes can be translated.

What are the different uses for QR codes?
QR codes were originally invented to be used to track cars. Today, however, QR codes are becoming popular in public places. These QR codes are used for linking URLs, spreading texts, phone numbers, and other information. QR codes are becoming more popular than barcodes because QR codes can be read with any camera connected to a processor with the ability to translate the code.
