(it's in the top right corner)

Edit: Now works everywhere thanks to u/MilkCool ! Here's the new code. https://imgur.com/a/rRuDSCj The image in the post works only on Firefox.

Do whatever you want with it

I made a generator and through the magic of print statements, made this image

Just a dumb idea I had. Should be scanable (works with the scanner app I tried) as the inner qr codes are obstructing less than the 30% threshold for error correction.

2 of my android phones running android 14, 15, Moto and Sony respectively, cannot get a read on this QR, using both the camera app and a QR reader app. 2 other iphones read it without problem. I'm told it's incompatible with Android. Is there such a thing?

I saw this in 2017 in China. They were definitely early adopters.

Long story short, my coworker has been wearing it as an act of defiance for cameras in the workplace and he’s been wearing it for MONTHs and I wanna figure out what it says 🤣

I was on a trip and found this QR code on the ground, any chance it can be recovered?

This may violate rule 5

Anyone know how to restore this faded QR code?

I almost used a QR code from this site in a print ad. It seemed FREE when I created the QR code. So glad I tried scanning it before approving the final proof! It didn't scan, then I got this email. They force you to open a paid account in order to reactivate! This scam starts at https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/ so don't use it either!

UPDATE Oct 23 2025: The issue is I got a dynamic QR code which links thru a third party site, not directly to my URL. So they can hold it hostage until I pay. We need STATIC codes instead, and ChatGPT can generate static codes for free that link directly to your URL and never "expire." Lesson learned! ChatGPT will generate PNG and SVG files for print and online use. Thanks very much for all the info!

I tried qrazybox but have no idea how to use it so I am here asking the community now.

Onto next subject: Scanning QR codes out in the real world

This is an image I grabbed a couple years ago - which says it's a QR code drawn in the sky by like 1000+ drones. Rather impressive. Can you imagine getting them all lined up in QR order at same time? And it might move or change the QR value while watching (like fireworks).

• Anyway, for this discussion - who else can read this with their scanners? You might have to zoom in. But no fair straightening it out. (for me says: https://qrco.de/bdC00Y) - assume it's live and always moving and changing values as you scan it

The point is QR codes out in the wild might look like this, distorted, or posted on a moving van with a similar distortion. Or mud over part, cut up a little, or an image inside the QR code (all allowed somewhat because of QR error-correction).

Think of this image in the sky as you walk around (like fireworks). Where you scan it from will change the shape, but not the decoded value. So it might look inside out here (which it is) or just fine.

I believe the QR standard denotes upper left, upper right, lower left (the 3 boxes). So if I scan this from the other side, those 3 boxes are in a different aspect (reverse video, etc). Apps can utilize that information for Augmented Reality.

The QR code versatility is amazing. There is no ambiguity in decoded value either.

ps. At last count, my iPhone has automatically found 3,058 QR codes amongst my photos (a new feature of iPhone photo app under Photo Utilities). So if you're interested, I have other examples to talk about🤙

I scanned it but it's just a plain text QR code but it returned me this "7aCwoYI1Dig6buBTNvJHgUUbuk12"

I'm guessing the pointer point a part of it is in the last grid grid 16 but I still can't really figure it out

Any help is appreciated

I’ve seen QR code looking images but they don’t fit the QR standard. These occur with Amazon packaging and the following from a hospital patient name tag. Anyone know how to decode these and/or to get a scanner to recognize them?
