QR Code Generator For “Quick Response”

That’s what they are intended for, getting a quick response. Generating a QR Code for mobile devices is relatively easy. Just use a QR code generator – like the one you can find here at QR Code Generator – to create a 2 dimensional bar code that stores just about any information you might need. You can create codes that link to web sites, provide contact information, email address, phone number, a SMS, WiFi network, Google maps, or just about any information you want to make available. A QR code generator will do all of this.

QR Code Generator Recommendation

Some considerations when generating QR codes. You are using a QR code generator to provide people with information. This means you need to aware of how this information is going to be acquired. A QR code generator should create codes that are sized appropriately. Being sized appropriately takes into two factors, how far away you expect the person scanning to be away from the QR code and the size of dots that the QR code generator creates.

A rule of thumb for how far away the scanner is – 10 to 1. If you expect someone to be scanning the code up close, say about a foot away, then use the QR code generator to create a 2D bar that is about an inch high wide by an inch high (or a little more). If you plan to put a QR code on the side of a building (like someone did in the following image), have the QR code generator create a high resolution image that can be scaled up to 20-30 feet for a person standing 200-300 feet away.

The size of dots is determined by the accuracy of the information and the quantity of information you provide. A QR code generator can be adjusted to provide better ECC – error correction code. Or said another way, better accuracy. But that comes at a cost. The QR code generator will need to generate more “bits” of information in the same area for better quality. In this case, a larger size QR code will be needed to ensure that the QR reader will recognize the information being provided. No free lunches with a QR code generator.

QR Code Generator For Background Images

Here’s where is gets interesting. Maybe you have seen some cool QR codes, the kind created by QR code generators that have an image in the background of the QR code.

You can create this effect with a QR code generator – carefully. What I mean is there are some considerations when combining an image with a QR code.

For instance, make sure the image is much smaller than the qr code created – in the sub 30% range. The QR code generator should put the image in the center of the QR code – definitely not in the corners where the square boxes are located. Best to leave a small white border around the embedded image. As much as possible, make sure the embedded images doesn’t have any square shapes similar to what the QR code generator creates.

Cool QR Code Ideas

You can create all sorts of cool, useful QR codes with a little imagination and a good QR code generator.

This one is a little off the wall (pun intended, keep reading and you’ll understand why). The European bank AXA created a giant QR code out of paint cans. That’s right, paint cans. What kind of QR code generator do you think they had? That’s right, the human kind.

Here’s another one and you might not like this one. Use your QR code generator to create codes, print those QR codes on fliers and put the flyers underneath car’s windshield wipers at the local mall.

Wrapping paper. What better way to say “I nerd you” then with QR codes on your wrapping paper. You would get a QR code generator to spit out codes that say “happy birthday” or whatever is appropriate.

This isn’t my idea. Print QR codes in three dimensions on the bottom of flip flops. People walking along the beach will might notice the QR code and scan them. I have my doubts about this one. Again, what kind of QR code generator would you need for this.

I like this idea. QR codes for your pets. Have a QR code generator print out dog tags (and cat tags) for your animal.

There you have it, some cool QR Code Generator ideas?

Get Started With A QR Code Generator

Pick a QR code generator to use, any one will do. Use the QR code generator on this site, that’s what is for. Decide what information you want to provide to mobile visitors. Do you want to share your contact details, or your email, or a url to your site, or you store hours. Any information you want to make readily available can be shown by using a QR Code Generator and creating QR codes.

If you have a mobile phone – a smartphone, scan the QR code just to the right. The QR code generator on this site, created that. If you scan that code, your smartphone will open a browser window to another mobile friendly website that has even more information about QR code generators and what you can do with QR codes.

The level of information provided in QR codes are impacted by the quality you choose when you use your QR code generator.

You’ll see more examples as we go along. Examples of the different quality available from the QR code generator on this site.

QR Code Generator Basics 101

Start with the quality of qr codes from the QR code generator.

These four QR codes all go to the same website. Try it out. Scan each QR code and see where it takes you. It is obvious by using your eyeballs that the qr code generator creates codes that are different. What makes them difference is the quality as measured by something referred to as ECC – error correctable code.

Some “capacity” stats for QR code generator:

Numeric characters only – 7089 characters
Alphanumeric characters – 4296 characters
Binary (0′s and 1′s, 8 bit) – 2953 bytes (1 byte = 8 bits)

The qr code generator creates 4 different levels of quality. L – 7% of codewords can be restored. M – 15% of codewords can be restored. Q – 25% of codewords can be restored. H – 30% of codewords can be restored. Notice that when you make the jump from M to Q, the QR code generator creates a larger image. That’s because it needs to have more information stored. Information referred to as “redundancy”. Or put another way, the H level code that the qr code generator created has enough information built in to still work if up to 30% of the qr code is missing.

Make sense? The important part to remember is that the qr code generator gives you options with regards to the ability to provide accurate scans.

Something else – a qr code generator creates qr code iphone and you don’t need a qr code generator android – think of it as a generic generator.

Techy QR Code Generator Information

Here’s the techy info about qr code generators.

Look closely at the image. You will see the required portions. Specifically the three corner boxes used for position. The fourth corner box is used for alignment and has the single “dot” in the middle. The dots between the position corners represent the timing. There is some other information generated – version, format and data/error correction (ECC). Enough tech talk about the QR code generator, lets move on.

Cool QR Code Generator

Here’s where it gets fun. There are qr code generators that allow you to add images to your qr codes. Some QR code generator will superimpose the QR code over a background image. The key to making these 2d bar codes work is to make sure the images have the right amount of translucency and opacity. Best way to verify if the combination of a background image works with a QR code is to try it out. Adjust the background image and superimpose the translucent qr code over. This requires some slight adjustments to way the qr code generator works.

Also, you can put QR codes in some pretty cool places. Use your qr code generator to create business cards, T-shirts, coffee mugs, pins, doormats, posters, for sale signs, dog tags, and more.

Last, but not least, a qr code generator is also known as a 2D bar code generator
