What Can a QR Code Contain?

QR codes can encode many types of data — not just URLs. The decoded content tells you exactly what the code was designed to do.

Content type	Example decoded text
Website URL	`https://example.com/page`
Plain text	`Hello, World!`
Email	`mailto:name@example.com`
Phone number	`tel:+441234567890`
SMS	`smsto:+441234567890:Hello`
Wi-Fi credentials	`WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:password;;`
vCard contact	`BEGIN:VCARD…`
Geo location	`geo:51.5074,-0.1278`

Tips for Better Detection

For best results, use a clear, well-lit image where the QR code is not obscured, tilted more than ~30 degrees, or smaller than about 30 × 30 pixels. Screenshots of QR codes on screens tend to work well. Heavily compressed or very low resolution images may fail to decode.
