What is a QR code?

QR codes (quick response) are scannable, 2D versions of a bar code that let you share online links to webpages without someone having to go to a web browser and type in that link manually.

They scan the QR code with their smartphone’s camera and the webpage loads on their device.

Third-party scanners can also be used.

When is a QR code generator useful?

  • Showing proof of Covid-19 vaccination

As more people have smartphones in their pocket, QR codes have become a common way of transferring information quickly and easily.

Are QR code generators safe?

Free online QR code generators themselves are safe – but it’s the security of the company that receives data that affects online safety.

Any information submitted via the QR code has to be stored somewhere, and there are many ways this can be exploited.

Therefore, users should consider who they are giving their data to. Are they reputable? Do you understand why they need your data? Do they outline what will happen to your data?

The Snap Surveys QR code generator is free and easy to use, but we do not control what happens to the data.

Will a QR code work on screenshot

Yes – QR codes can work on a screenshot as long as it’s a clear image.

Do QR codes expire?

QR codes don’t expire or become invalid, as the data is stored in the graphic and cannot be changed.
