- Download the application for reading codes on your smartphone. For example, you can download such an application in Play.Market.
- Install the application.
- Run the installed application.
- Lay the phone to the QR code to make the phone camera completely captured the code. Press the "Scan" button, which is displayed in the application.
- Get encrypted information.
There are many more reading programs for reading this type of codes, but it may happen that the program does not consider the code due to the fact that does not support the format.
Where can I use the QR code?
The area of \u200b\u200buse of QR codes is very extensive. You can use codes as:

How to create a QR code?
- Create a QR code will not be a lot of work. The only thing you need to do is choose the site (code generator) or a mobile application that helps create such encrypted codes.
- There are quite a lot of different services that help create a variety of QR code with a large amount of data.
- The only thing that when creating a code should be noted that the selected codes generator take into account the QR code's ability to analyze and track the efficiency, that is, the QR code is unique. When scanning, information from one user must be displayed.
In order to create such code necessary:
- Run the codes generator.
- In the specially reserved field, enter the necessary text, for coding.
- Next, click the "Create Code" button or use the CTR + ENTER key combinations.
- After that, in a separate window, the code itself will be shown. This code can be easily printed or used on other resources.
