QR stands for Quick Response Code and it's a graphical representation of digital data that can be printed on platforms and then scanned by most smartphone cameras. These codes store more data than a barcode. Usually, a barcode consists of numbers, characters, and symbols, while a QR code can hold up to 406 bytes of data or information. Now various versions and variations of QR codes are present and are customized for various purposes.
