Each QR code is linked to an online address, which can lead to a web page, a social profile, but also to a destination file such as a document or an image to download.

The user can use an app to scan the QR code (many modern sweden email list smartphones have this functionality built right into the camera) and will be immediately directed to the address chosen by the person who created the code.

How do you create a QR code?
Creating this magical code is easier than you might think. There are many QR code generators online that allow you to generate your own code and direct it to the web page of your choice.

All you need to do is choose a QR code generator, enter the destination URL, customize the frame, shape and color of your QR code and save the file.
