What Is A QR Code Generator?

A QR code generator creates a scannable code that stores information such as a website URL, WiFi login details, contact information, email drafts, SMS messages, phone numbers or plain text. When someone scans the QR code with a phone camera, the device reads the encoded content and opens the relevant action.

How Does A Website QR Code Work?

A website QR code stores a URL such as https://cheesebridge.com/. When scanned, the phone reads the URL and opens the website in the browser. The QR code does not host the website; it simply stores the link.

QR Codes For Marketing

QR codes are useful on posters, packaging, flyers, business cards, menus, event signs and printed campaigns. For marketing campaigns, you can add UTM tracking parameters to a website URL so analytics tools can identify traffic from QR code scans.
