Based on new privacy and security information, PSD now recommends the use of the following tools when needing to create a QR code.

The embedded Chrome QR generator.

• Make sure Chrome is updated to the latest version.
• This option works for most sites. There are times you may need to use another option, see below if you are trying to create a QR code for a Google Form you want someone to complete.
  • Click on the 3 dots icon on the right side of the URL and choose Save and Share >Create QR Code
  • You can then download the QR and add it to a Doc to keep and copy/paste for use in other places.

To make a QR code for a Google Form:

• Open the Form in Preview. This will be the URL you want to create the QR code for. (If you make a QR code for the editable URL and share it with others, they will have access to the editable version of the Google Form)
• Once a QR code is created, you can download it and add it to documents and other files.

*Tip: If you want to save the QR code and find it later, change the name of the file in Downloads.

If you are looking to create new short links, we recommend you check out popular services like Bit.ly, tinyurl.com or Ow.ly as alternatives.
