One of my colleagues ask me how to make a QR Code of some link. OK, here you go.
Using Google’s Chart API
You can simple go to the link below get your QR Code Image, although you make see the depreciated warning below in here

http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=300x300&choe=UTF-8&chld=H&chl=http://the_url_you_want
e.g.
- I have a link https://fb.me/skhlpss.calp and want to create a QR Code
- type the following link to any web browser
- QR Code will be generated.
- you may see the example below
- change the word 300x300 for other dimension, e.g. 500x500 for larger image.
By using Google Shortener
Google Shortener not only shorten your link, but also prepare the QR code to the shortened link. Once you sign in with your browser and shortened you link in https://goo.gl, you will find a dropdown menu for getting the QR code.
