This might be my new favorite QR code creator


One of the challenges with many of the free QR Code generators that I wrote about previously, is that they have restricted the free QR code features to only linking to websites. I recently came across the free QR Code generator, Me-QR that generates a QR code and lets you link to many types of media with the free version.

Once you get to the Me-QR website, you will need to sign up for a free account.  After that, it's just three simple steps to generate your QR Code.

Step 1: Select what your QR Code will link to

You can link your QR Code to a website, but you can also link to all of the following (and more):

I particularly like being able to link to a PDF document (an article, work document, or PDF of a PowerPoint presentation, etc.) and to link to text or an image with contact information, etc.

Step 2: Select your content and create your QR Code

Add the link or upload the content from your computer and click: Customize & Download QR.

Step 3: Customize and download your QR Code

Your QR Code is generated and you have the option to customize the look of your QR Code with frames based on pre-made templates, themes, holidays, and events. Once you have a design and color customization that you like, you can download your QR Code and use it in documents, slide decks, presentations, posters, and more!

What are some ways you can integrate QR codes linking to all these options into your profession?

  1. QR codes can be useful to reduce paper and saves money. Seems silly to say but they eliminate the running out of copies. My family attended a school play this weekend and to access a program you needed to scan a QR code. It saved time spent on making copies, money on the paper, and the number of programs never ran out. They are also a great tool for individuals to participate in trainings/conferences. QR codes can be used to create interaction in a presentation. They give access to surveys, comments etc that can be used in real time in a presentation.
