Explain to me how QR codes work

587 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?

QR code is more of an font than anything else. It doesn’t link to anything. It’s just a text written out in this specific “font”.

You can use QR codes for many different things than just urls. You can have ones with text, image, game,….

You can fit in them about 4296 alphanumeric characters, so that should give you a lot of combinations.
