A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) designed to be read by smartphones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded may be text, a URL, or other data.
QR Codes are a way to post machine-readable URL's. A machine readable URL makes it easier for users to find a webpage, without typing in the full text. QR scanners are available for smart phones, like the Apple iPhone. QR generators are available online, that help generate QR images for URL's that you specify.
