On a recent trip to Egypt we stayed at the Ritz Carleton in Cairo. We had to scan a QR code to see the menu that was offered. They had no paper menus. If you didn't have a smartphone that would scan QR codes you were going to go hungry. The entire world is changing rapidly right now.

Fortunately or UNFORTUNATELY,
A smartphone had LITERALLY become the cost of admission to many aspects of contemporary life.
How about going to a local show
[Broadway Across America etc.]
You need to scan the code on your phone to attend the show.

The QR code worked on my phone. Took me directly to your site, iPhone 7.

It's a link to my website. If they scan it, the phone will say what (site) it is and ask if they want to open it.
At least my phone does.

Did it tell you what the link contents were and ask if you wanted to visit, or did it just go directly there.

It opened a scan result page that showed the link. Touching the "Open Link" button went directly to the site and showed the home page.

Thanks. I trust all QR readers are like that.

Sorry, I mis-read your reply...
It's an image, not a link. The image must be scanned by a QR reader to utilize it.

It appears that there are different styles of QR code. They include text, URLs, images, and other stuff.
I found a website: https://www.qr-code-generator.com. They display a number of different styles.
I tried entering text and got:
See if you can read it.
I displayed the image on my computer screen and took my iPhone and used the camera on it. First of all it recognized that it was a QR code and put a bracket around the code part of the image on the screen. Second, without taking a photo, it brought up a drop-down notification containing the text in the image. I was able to save it and insert it into an email.
I tried chopping about 1/4 of the image off the bottom and the iPhone will not recognize it any more.

COOL! It works. "When in the course....."
The text version could come in handy.
Thanks!

I accidently right clicked on one of my images in the Bird Gallery. One of the options was to create a QR code. I create it, and downloaded it.
So what good is it to me or anyone else.

The restaurant I frequent uses a system where the invoice has a Q R code printed on it. I open the Code Reader app from the control panel, focus the screen on the QR and a banner appears. Touching the banner brings the bill for lunch to my screen. I can tip whatever I like but options are given. I tap the needed boxes and my meal is paid in full, and sent to the issuing CC. The business has to be equipped for this. Many are already there.

Last December at the airport in Indonesia, we needed to have the QR code on our phones before we went through immigration. It was on a poster before the line. It didn't work, so they just waved us through...
