What is the full form of QR?

Published in Information Technology 1 min read

The full form of QR is Quick Response.

This acronym refers to the Quick Response code, a type of two-dimensional barcode that is machine-readable. QR codes are widely used because of their ability to store more data than a standard barcode and can be scanned quickly using a smartphone camera. This makes them suitable for a variety of applications, including:

  • URL redirection: Leading users to websites.
  • Contact information sharing: Easily sharing vCards.
  • Payment processing: Facilitating mobile payments.
  • Authentication: Verifying identity.
  • Tracking and tracing: Managing inventory and logistics.

The "Quick Response" name reflects the code's primary advantage: its ability to be decoded rapidly.
