Originally used in the automotive manufacturing industry, the humble QR code has really stood the test of time. These pixel-based codes can be captured on a wide array of digital devices, and in 2020 are playing a huge part in the UK’s efforts to slow the spread of Covid-19.

While the QR code performs a vital function for the NHS test and trace app, these codes can be used in other ways too. Whether you’re looking to update your Menu ordering system, or add important informational links to your window display – there’s a QR code for that!

We’ve trawled the internet for the top QR code generators to help you get started. Read on to find the right one for your business.
