QR Codes have been around for a long time, but unless you have a smartphone you probably have never used them. But if you do have a smartphone, then you know you can point your camera at a QR code and scan it to go to a webpage and get more information about a product, service, company, etc.

Both Chrome and Microsoft Edge have a QR generator built-in.  You can create a QR code for any site. You can copy the QR code or download it to your computer as a PNG image file. You can share QR images by email or text instead of sending a link. Or send them to your smartphone. Then scan the QR code with your smartphone’s camera to open the link.

To generate a QR code for a web page with Chrome or Edge, right-click on a blank area of any webpage and choose “Create QR code for this page”.
