You can create a QR code for a Google link directly through the Chrome browser. Here's how:
- Open Chrome: Launch the Google Chrome browser on your computer.
- Navigate to the Google Link: Go to the specific Google page (e.g., a Google Doc, Google Sheet, Google Form, or any website accessed via a Google search) you want to create a QR code for.
- Access the QR Code Generator:
- Click the three vertical dots (More menu) located in the upper-right corner of the Chrome window.
- Select "Save and Share" then "Create QR code". This option might appear slightly differently depending on your Chrome version (e.g. just "Create QR code"). The essential part is finding the QR code generation feature within the share/save options. Alternatively, you can right click anywhere on the page and select "Create QR code for this page".
- Download or Copy the QR Code: A QR code will be generated and displayed. You have the following options:
- Download: Click the "Download" button to save the QR code image (.png file) to your computer.
- Copy Link: Click the "Copy" button to copy the URL that the QR code directs to. This is useful for sharing the underlying link instead of the QR code itself.
- Scan: Use your smartphone's camera or a QR code scanner app to scan the code directly from your computer screen.
Now, you can share the downloaded QR code image with others, who can then scan it with their smartphones to quickly access the Google link.
