Explain to me how QR codes work

583 viewsOtherTechnology

I understand the code itself is a different make up of black/white grids to get your phone to recognize a linked site. But at some point won’t we completely run out of possible image combinations making them obsolete or is it something that regenerates a new site to QR connection? (On mushrooms so I might not have asked this very well lmao)

Basically will we run out of QR codes and if not how is there an endless supply?

The most primitive QR code standard has 10^132 possible combinations, which is 10^52 times as many atoms in the observable universe. Since then, we have upgraded the standards to hold much more data. We will never run out of combinations.
