Simply put, we can say that the QR code is the natural evolution of the barcode. Its name derives from "Quick Response Code", due to the speed at which they can be scanned. This code allows for easy access to different information through a mobile device.
They are as useful as all the different types of content they can offer. In fact, in recent years, this type of code is becoming more widely accepted among all kinds of people. It's logical, since with just one scan you can access a variety of different information and even facilitate certain tasks such as connecting to a Wi-Fi network. A QR code can help you improve the service or product you offer, interact with your customers and promote your business, among other things.
Many. There are as many types of the different kinds of content that may be associated with them. At imqrscan, we offer you a tool to create a wide variety of them: Wi-Fi, website, vCard, PDF, location, apps, menus and many more. And all in the simplest way.
To read a QR code with imqrscan, open the app and tap the QR scanner icon to activate your camera. Align the QR code within the viewfinder, and the app will automatically scan it. Once scanned, the encoded information will be displayed on your screen, allowing you to take action, such as visiting a website or saving contact details.
A static QR code contains fixed information that cannot be changed once it's generated. It's ideal for simple use cases like sharing contact details or a URL. A dynamic QR code, on the other hand, allows you to update the embedded information even after the QR code has been created. This makes dynamic QR codes more flexible and useful for applications like marketing campaigns where content might need to change over time.
No, due to the technical differences between each of the codes.
You can generate your own QR codes easily with imqrscan. Simply open the imqrscan app or website, select the type of QR code you want to create (e.g., URL, Wi-Fi, vCard), and enter the required information. The platform will generate the QR code instantly, which you can download and share as needed.
Yes, QR code reading can fail due to several factors: poor image quality (blurry or low light), damage or distortion of the code, incorrect size, low contrast or non-standard colors, and environmental issues like glare or shadows. Ensuring clear, high-quality codes and proper scanning conditions can reduce the likelihood of failure.
With our QR code creator, anyone can create their own.
Yes, you can customize the text that is encoded within a QR code. You can include various types of text, such as URLs, contact information, plain text, or any data you wish. However, the appearance of the QR code itself is usually determined by the data encoded and cannot be freely customized without potentially affecting its readability. You can add a logo or change colors, but the pattern of the code must remain intact to ensure it can be scanned properly.
No. To avoid errors in the process of reading the QR code, this option is not available. But don't worry, we use a standard size so that the logo is easily readable and doesn't compromise the scan.
Yes. Within the "My QRs" section, you can see all the QR codes that you have created. Just click on the edit button (pencil symbol) to be able to make changes to your QR.
Yes. We recommend that you always scan the QR code preview with your mobile device to check that it's working.
If you are in the trial period or signed to any of our plans, your active QR codes should work without problem. If your QR codes do not work, it is most likely to be due to design elements. Some reading applications and telephone cameras have difficulties in scanning complexes QR codes. Here are some design elements that must be taken into account: - Make sure there is a significant contrast between the foreground and the bottom of the QR code. - Make sure the QR code size is suitable for scanning distance (in general, dynamic QR codes should not be less than 2 x 2 cm and static QR codes should not be less than 3 x 3 cm). - Make sure the logo, if you use one, do not obstruct the important elements of the QR code.
You will be able to know the number of total scans, the number of scans per operating system, the location and the number of unique scans.
