Today’s topic is an important one regarding common naming mistakes.
For example, the QR code:
Please note that a barcode is different from a QR code.
A barcode is usually the one you see like the image on the left. It is made of vertical lines and typically contains numbers only. It is mostly used on product packaging.
A QR code is more modern. It is square-shaped and can store much more information, including text, links, and more—not just numbers.
In short:
If you see a square-shaped code, it’s a QR code.
If you see a rectangular line-based code, it’s a barcode 😂
Share for awareness 😊
