What are micro qr codes?

A micro QR code is like a tiny version of a QR code, but much smaller and easier to carry around.

Think about it like this: A regular QR code is like a big, busy picture that tells your phone a whole message, maybe where to go or what game to play. But sometimes you need something smaller, like when you're drawing on a napkin or making a sticker for your backpack. That’s where a micro QR code comes in, it's like the same message, but packed into a much tinier space.

How It Works

Just like how you can shrink a picture to fit on a postcard, a micro QR code takes the same information and makes it smaller so it fits on something tiny, like a sticker or even a button. You still scan it with your phone, just like magic, but not too magical!

Why Use It?

Using a micro QR code is like having a secret message in your pocket, small enough to fit anywhere, but powerful enough to take you on an adventure when you need it!
