Creating QR Codes

The Google QR code tool, goo.gl, is going away. This post will detail how to use a new tool, QRCodeMonkey, to create some interesting looking QR codes.

Start by copying the address you want to convert and then open the QRCodeMonkey webpage.

Paste the address in the URL box.

You can add an image if you want a somewhat fancy QR code.

Pro Tip - You can also set the colors if you are printing these with a color printer.

On the far right.

1. click Create QR Code when you are finished.

2. Click Download PNG.

The QR code will show up at the bottom of the browser window.

I usually just drag to the desktop.

You now have a QR code ready for posting and printing.
