Inserting and editing QR codes

A Quick Response (QR) code is a type of barcode that represents information in two dimensions. Typically, QR codes consist of dots (also

called “pixels”) arranged in a square pattern and displayed against a contrasting background. QR codes are known for their fast readability

and can store information such as website addresses, phone numbers, and messages.

With the widespread use of smartphones, QR codes have become popular in consumer advertising and packaging. By scanning a QR code

on your smartphone, you can quickly access the brand’s website for more information about a product.

To insert, edit, and validate QR codes, you must sign in to your account and be connected to the Internet.
