What is a QR Code?
A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that can be scanned by any smartphone camera. When scanned, it instantly opens a website, starts a WhatsApp chat, initiates a UPI payment, connects to WiFi, or performs any other programmed action.

Which QR Code Type Should I Choose?
Choosing the right QR type depends on what you want the person scanning to see or do. Here is a quick guide for the most common use cases in India:
- Shop or restaurant owner accepting payments → UPI QR Code — works with GPay, PhonePe, Paytm, and every bank app.
- Small business receiving customer enquiries → WhatsApp QR Code — one scan opens a chat with a pre-filled message.
- Café, hotel, or homestay sharing WiFi → WiFi QR Code — guests connect without asking for the password.
- Freelancer, consultant, or salesperson → vCard QR Code — saves your full contact card to the scanner's phonebook.
- Restaurant with digital menu → Restaurant Menu QR — customers scan the tent card and view the menu on their phone.
- Event organiser → Event QR Code — attendees scan once and the event is saved in their calendar.
- Multiple codes at once → Bulk QR Generator — upload a CSV, get 50 QR codes with matching labels in one go.
How Does a QR Code Actually Work?
A QR code is a two-dimensional grid of black and white squares that stores data as a binary pattern. When a phone camera looks at it, the pattern is decoded back into text — a URL, a UPI payment string, a WiFi password, a phone number, or anything else. The three larger squares in the corners are called finder patterns, and they help the camera correctly orient the code even if you scan it at an angle. The small square near the fourth corner is the alignment pattern and helps with perspective correction. Because the encoding includes error correction (usually 15–30% redundancy), a QR code still scans even if part of it is damaged, dirty, or covered by a small logo — which is why QRMaker lets you add a logo up to 40% without breaking the code.
QR Code Print Size Guide for India
QR codes have to be a certain minimum size to scan reliably. Use this table when printing:
- Visiting card — 2 cm × 2 cm minimum. Use error correction "H" to survive smudges.
- Table tent card / QR on a bill — 3 cm × 3 cm — comfortable arm's-length scan.
- Shop counter (payment QR) — 5 cm × 5 cm — one metre scan distance.
- Poster / A4 flyer — 6 cm × 6 cm — most posters get scanned from 1–1.5 m.
- Shop front or hoarding — Rule of thumb: QR size = scan distance ÷ 10. A 3 m scan distance needs 30 cm × 30 cm.
- Outdoor banner — Always download SVG so the print stays sharp at any size.
