ShortCut: Create a QR Code

iPad, iPhone, and laptop all have a built-in versatile resource called Shortcuts that may be an easier option for you.   I will highlight some of the useful quick-wins of this app, beginning with Creating a QR Code.

Using Shortcuts to Make a QR Code:

Steps:
1. Open the Shortcuts application.  

2. Tap on All Shortcuts

Even if you have never opened the app, there are some 'starter' shortcuts, including Make QR Code

3. Tap on Make QR Code

4. Select which task you would like to accomplish.  Most of the time I use 'Open Website'.

4. Paste in the web address.

5. Now Save/Send your new qr code to wherever works for your application.  

I most often send mine to Photos, where it is saved as an image.

BONUS nugget on information:

Did you know that you can 'scan' a qr code without using the Camera?

Try it out with this link:

Scenario - you open a print publication, such as a pdf document that includes a QR  Code.  If you tap and hold on the image a menu will pop up which includes opening the link in Safari.

Check out the Gallery for other Shortcuts that may be useful for you.

Please give me a heads-up about what you find.  I would like to know what works for you.
