Generate Your Own QR Codes

QR Codes gives us an interesting way of storing and exchanging text information inside images. These images might look like a total gibberish to the human eye but the information contained inside the image can be extracted instantly on the desktop or a mobile phone using free decoders.

Now you might say that "big deal! what did we have bar codes for?" But unlike the more popular bar codes, a QR Code can store data in both the vertical and horizontal directions and hence have more storage capacity per unit area. Moreover, the QR codes are readable from any direction and that data stored inside QR codes can be restored even if the corresponding image is partially damaged.

Since the QR codes are becoming a rage, why not get one for your website! Well, there are numerous online services which would let you generate your own QR codes, but here are a few which I found to be very reliable and with one of them you can even generate a colored QR code!
