Google Chrome introduces a new QR Code extension. Here are three easy steps to use it:
Google recently introduced a new feature to Chrome that allows users to generate QR codes for any website URL.
This feature is available on the most recent Chrome 88 update from January 2025, which included the new feature and other tweaks, plus a revamped Chrome status quo, such as a better Dark Theme.
Currently, this QR code feature can only be used on the desktop version of Chrome; unfortunately, the feature hasn’t been implemented on Chrome’s mobile version.
However, most mobiles have built-in scanners that users can use, making it a fair trade-off.
How to use the QR Code App: Google Chrome’s QR code app can be accessed in three simple steps:
Step 1
Open your Chrome web browser and go to the page where you want to generate a QR code.
Step 2
Right-click on the page and click ‘Create QR code for this page. ’ (You can also click the QR icon on the address bar)
Step 3
Download the QR code that Chrome generates.
Sharing Made Easy
Instead of sharing long URLs, you now have a simple QR code you can create in one click and share on any document, whether in a presentation, over email or on printed materials.
