Get answers to your questions about Online QR Generator and QR codes
What is a QR code generator?
A QR code generator is a tool that allows you to make your own QR codes. These codes can be customized to contain data of your choice. People can scan these codes on their smartphones and they'll be automatically sent to the content you point them to, whether it's a website, a video or a social media profile.
How do you scan a QR code?
The majority of Android and iOS smartphones are equipped with an in-built QR code reader within their camera. However, if your smartphone lacks this feature, you can download an app that enables your device to read QR codes.
What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?
Static QR codes are the simplest kind of QR codes and they can't be modified or overwritten at any point in the future. In other words, once you have generated a static QR code, that's it - it cannot be edited. Dynamic QR codes are editable at any time. You can create a dynamic QR code, print the code, distribute it and change the link that they point to at a later date. Also, dynamic QR codes can collect time, location and frequency statistics.
What data is collected in dynamic QR scans?
Our dynamic QR scans collect a range of key information about the performance of your QR codes, such as how often they're being scanned and where and how they're being scanned. You'll be able to see information like the devices and the operating systems that people are using to scan your QR codes. You'll also be able to see how many times your codes have been scanned, as well as how many unique people have scanned them.
