What is a Barcode?
A barcode is a visual, machine-readable representation of data using varying-width parallel
lines.
How does it work?
A barcode works by encoding information in a pattern of parallel lines of varying widths and
spaces, which represent numbers or letters.

1. Structure: A barcode consists of black bars and white spaces. The specific arrangement
of these bars and spaces encodes data.
2. Scanning: A barcode scanner uses a light source, typically a laser, to illuminate the
barcode. The light reflects off the barcode and is detected by a sensor.
3. Detection: The black bars absorb light, while the white spaces reflect it. The sensor
detects these varying light reflections as electrical signals.
4. Decoding: The scanner converts these electrical signals into a digital signal. The digital
signal is then decoded into readable information, such as a product number or identification
code.
5. Output: The decoded information is sent to a computer system or point-of-sale
terminal, where it can be used for inventory management, sales processing, or other
applications.
How to create a Bar Code that can be scanned?
By using an Online Barcode Generator
1. Choose a Barcode Type: Decide on the type of barcode you need, such as UPC-A, EAN-13, or
Code 128. Different types have varying capabilities and requirements.
2. Generate the Barcode:
• Go to an online barcode generator website like Barcodes Inc., Barcode Generator, or Online
Barcode Generator.
• Enter your unique product identifier (e.g., UPC number, EAN number).
• Select the barcode format and any additional options like size or text.
• Click on the “Generate Barcode” or similar button.
3. Download or Save the Barcode: Once generated, you can download the barcode image file
(typically in PNG, JPEG, or SVG format) or directly print it.
Example:
1. Go to Online Barcode Generator.
2. Enter your product identifier (e.g., 123456789012) and choose the barcode type (e.g., UPC-
A).
3. Adjust options like size and text if needed.
4. Click on “Generate Barcode.”
5. Download the generated barcode image.

What is a QR Code?
A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that encodes information
in a square grid of black and white squares.
How do QR Codes work?
A QR code works by encoding information in a pattern of black and white squares arranged on
a square grid.
1. Structure: A QR code consists of black squares (modules) on a white background. It includes:
• Position markers: Three large squares at the corners help scanners detect the code’s
orientation.
• Timing patterns: Alternating black and white modules that help the scanner determine the
data cell coordinates.
• Data area: Contains the actual encoded information, including error correction data.
2. Scanning: A QR code scanner or camera captures the QR code image.
3. Detection: The scanner identifies the position markers to determine the QR code’s
orientation and alignment.
4. Decoding: The scanner reads the black and white modules to extract binary data. This binary
data includes both the encoded information and error correction data.
5. Output: The decoded information is displayed or used by an application, such as opening a
website, displaying a message, or adding a contact.
How to create a QR Code that can be scanned?
Using an Online QR Code Generator
1. Choose a QR Code Generator:
• QR Code Generator
• QR Stuff
• QR Code Monkey
2. Select the QR Code Type:
• Most generators offer options for different types of QR codes such as URL, text, email,
phone number,image, Wi-Fi, vCard, etc. Choose the one that fits your needs.
3. Enter the Information:
• URL: Enter the website address you want the QR code to direct to.
• Text: Input any text you want to display when the QR code is scanned.
• Email: Fill in the recipient, subject, and body fields for a pre-filled email.
• Phone Number: Input the phone number for a call.
• Image: Insert the image you want to display when is scanned.
• Wi-Fi: Enter the SSID, password, and network type for connecting to a Wi-Fi network.
• vCard: Fill in contact details like name, phone number, email, address, etc.
4. Customize the QR Code (Optional):
• Some generators allow you to customize the design, color, and add a logo.
5. Generate the QR Code:
• Click the “Generate” or “Create” button to generate your QR code.
6. Download the QR Code:
• Once generated, download the QR code image in your preferred format (PNG, JPG, SVG,
etc.).

Differences Between Barcodes and QR Codes


• Data Capacity:
• Barcodes: Limited (20-25 characters).
• QR Codes: High (up to 7,089 characters).
• Readability:
• Barcodes: Must be read in a specific orientation.
• QR Codes: Can be read from any direction (360 degrees).
• Information Storage:
• Barcodes: Typically store simple information like product IDs, prices, and inventory codes.
• QR Codes: Can store complex information such as URLs, text, and contact details.
• Uses:
• Barcodes: Commonly used in retail for product identification, inventory tracking, and sales
processes.
• QR Codes: Widely used in marketing, mobile payments, website links, and digital content
access.
•Scanning Technology:
• Barcodes: Scanned using laser or CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) scanners.
• QR Codes: Scanned using smartphone cameras or dedicated QR code readers.
•Visual Differences:
• Barcodes: Linear with vertical lines of varying widths.
• QR Codes: Square-shaped with black and white squares arranged in a grid pattern, including
position markers for orientation.
Summary:
• Barcodes are best for simple, low-capacity data encoding and require specific scanning
orientation.
• QR Codes are more versatile, with higher data capacity, better error correction, and can be
scanned from any direction.
