If you'd like to generate a QR code,
0:03
it's not a difficult thing to do. There
0:05
are quite a number of free QR code
0:08
generators out there. In this tutorial,
0:11
I'm going to demonstrate how to generate
0:13
a QR code using Canvas free and easy QR
0:18
code generator.
0:27
A lot of people already use Canva. Canva
0:30
is that popular graphics editor. If you
0:34
already use Canva or you'd like to use
0:37
Canva, signing up is free. And while
0:40
there are premium plans that give you
0:42
advanced features, the QR code generator
0:46
is part of the free package. So, let's
0:49
get to it. You have to go to
0:52
canva.com/qrcode
0:57
generator slash I'll put the link in the
1:01
description of this video. Canvas free
1:04
and easy QR code generator. Reach new
1:07
clients with a free QR code from Canvas
1:09
QR code generator. Ideal for marketing
1:12
materials and business cards. Create web
1:15
design QR codes in a few click. There's
1:17
a button here that says generate a QR
1:19
code. It's also here. So when you click
1:22
on it, this is what you get. It says
1:25
here
1:27
uh generate a QR code in seconds. Add a
1:30
URL and we'll create a QR code for you
1:32
to add to your design. People can scan
1:34
the QR code to reach the URL. I select
1:38
use a new design custom size.
1:42
Any any size you want is fine really. So
1:44
in this top left corner add a URL and we
1:48
create a QR code for you to add to your
1:50
design. People can scan the QR code to
1:52
reach the URL. I had already copied the
1:55
URL of one of my websites. So I paste it
1:58
in there.
2:00
There's an option to customize.
2:03
You can choose a background color,
2:05
foreground color, margin, blah blah
2:07
blah. I'm just going to leave it as it
2:09
is. And then I click that button. That's
2:11
it. Generate code. And that's my QR
2:15
code. So what next? Share. I can
2:18
download it. And because Canva is
2:21
available on mobile, here it is also on
2:25
my phone. And I can also download it
2:29
here. Save.
2:32
Let's find out if it actually works. I'm
2:35
going to scan it. There you go. And you
2:39
can see the URL here. Mobility.com.
2:42
I tap it.
2:44
And there you go.
2:47
Of course, now I can share this QR code
2:51
via email, via WhatsApp, post on social
2:54
media, put it on a website, anywhere it
2:56
goes. Anyone can scan it in order to
2:59
access my website. That's how easy it is
3:03
to create a QR code. Should you want to
3:08
use any of the other available free QR
3:12
code generator,
3:14
run a search in your favorite search
3:16
engine and you will see results.
3:20
QR code generator, 100% free, best free
3:24
QR code generator, unlimited free QR
3:26
codes. There are so many of them that
3:29
offer you the ability to create QR
3:32
codes. Some are easier than others.
3:36
Play around, see what you like. So in
3:40
this case,
3:43
this one is qr-code-generator.com.
3:49
Get started for free. It's likely going
3:52
to require you to sign in to create an
3:54
account.
3:57
Yes,
3:59
this one is free for 14 days.
4:04
Play around. You never know what you'll
4:06
find. If you try one, you don't like it,
4:10
try the other. Let's look at this one.
4:12
qr-code.io.
4:15
It's the web address.
4:17
This one allows you to create a QR code
4:19
for multiple types of users. A website,
4:23
PDF, list of links, vard, business,
4:26
video, images, all sorts. Let's get to
4:30
it. Select a type of QR code on the
4:32
left. Let's try list of links.
4:37
Add content to your QR code. The page
4:40
isn't responding. Okay. Add content to
4:44
your QR code.
4:51
Title. I'll just say the mobility blogs.
5:00
the mobility blogs. So save.
5:05
Okay. So the first one
5:08
link
5:11
mobility
5:14
arena.com
5:19
link paste.
5:22
Add link. You can also add an image for
5:26
that link.
5:28
The next one
5:30
mobility
5:33
nng
5:37
add link.
5:40
So I have added two links.
5:43
I click next here.
5:48
Code corners.
5:54
This actually allows some fair level of
5:57
customization.
6:00
Is there a frame for the code? Scan me.
6:06
Interesting.
6:08
Scan me.
6:12
I like this.
6:14
What else can I change?
6:23
Q output pattern
6:26
H. So it allows you to create different
6:28
patterns.
6:31
Anyway, I think I'm done. Create. So I
6:33
click create there.
6:48
My code is ready.
6:50
So when you scan
6:52
the QR code, this is what you get.
6:56
Title the mobility blogs and then
6:58
there's mobility arena and then there's
7:00
mobility.
7:02
And you can tap on that to go to
7:06
mobility
7:11
and you can tap on this
7:14
to go to mobility arena. So my QR code
7:18
works fine. If I have to recommend any
7:21
free QR code generators for you to start
7:23
with. Definitely I love how Canva works.
7:27
Canvas free QR code generator is simple,
7:31
straightforward. Don't forget though
7:33
that it works primarily on the desktop.
7:36
So you need either a laptop or a desktop
7:39
PC. I have tried to use it on the phone.
7:44
I have not found out how to do that yet.
7:46
Perhaps there's a way to do it that I
7:49
have clicked the link on the phone and
7:51
it just opens the app without taking me
7:53
to the QR code generator interface. So,
7:57
Canvas QR code generator works fine. The
7:59
other one that I will recommend and I'm
8:01
recommending it because of its
8:03
versatility. It allows you to customize
8:06
a whole lot more and play around with
8:11
options. It's QR code.io io. Again, the
8:17
links to both will be in the description
8:19
of this video. Try these two out. I am
8:22
almost sure that you will find either of
8:25
them comfortable to use. And if you
8:27
don't, then get on your search engine
8:30
and look for alternatives. There are
8:32
lots of free QR code generators out
8:35
there that you can put to use. That's
8:38
it, guys. Thanks for watching. Please do
