So you could easily, instead of sending this to the Desktop, send it to a special folder and then fill it up with the QR codes you need and know where each one goes because they are named properly. I can generate it for any pages I want and you could see how it creates one for each. It runs and you see I get the name of this page. So if I were to go to somewhere else and then Create QR code. Now when I run you could see how it takes the name of the page and uses that as the name for the file. You can get the details on a Safari webpage. Well, let's go ahead and get the details of the webpage. Now when I run it the first time it is going to ask me to give permission and now you could see here I've got it on the Desktop. Now let's get rid of this Quick Look here. Now it is going to save it to the Desktop. Let's turn that off and instead it will save it and I click here to replace the Shortcuts folder with something else, like say the Desktop. Show More will show me the password to save. Well, what I can do here is just use the Save command, Save and then Save File, and it will Save QR code. Now let's say I want to Save this as an image file instead of having to do something with it right away. So if your main goal is getting it to the Clipboard quickly so you can use it in documents then you may want to go with something really simple like this. It's going to generate the QR code and then it is going to copy it to the Clipboard. So now all it's going to do is get the current webpage. Resize and add a QR code to a flyer.Īnother way to go instead of using Quick Look you could just Search for Clipboard and Copy to Clipboard. Like, for instance, if I'm making a flyer in Pages I could just Command V and paste it in. With it copied I could do something really easy. I could also open in Preview and then I could simply Command C to Copy. It's going to output the result to Quick Look and there is that. I can click there and so I say Pin to Menu Bar. Let's go to another page here, like this one. I can do various things with it using the Share Menu. So now when I run it here you could see it appears there in Quick Look. Now the output will actually go to Quick Look. So if I search for Quick, I get Quick Look. Also some place to output to because we're not always going to be running it here in the Shortcuts app. It's going to feed that into generate QR code from. So now it's going to get the current webpage from Safari. Insert variable, Select the Variable, select this. Now let's get rid of this right here and I'm going to Control Click on it. It just will get that current page in Safari and use that. That way you could bring up the page in Safari and use this from the Menu Bar, having it pinned in the Menu Bar or any other way even in the Shortcuts app. But I find it is a lot easier if you just go with whatever the front-most page is in Safari, whatever the URL is that is showing there. Now you can also set this up as a QuickAction or Service to use in Safari or when you've selected a URL to turn that into a QR code. Now what we can do here is get the current webpage from Safari. Let's start off by searching for something that would get the webpage location. Use it in something I'm going to print or email or whatever. Then I could go to any page I want and quickly create a QR code for that one and then use it somewhere. So, for instance, if I'm in Safari like this it would be great to be able to create a QR code for this page. What would be better is if it actually made a QR code for the webpage you are currently viewing. If you point a camera at that code it's going to come up and clicking on it will take you to that webpage. So you could type in a URL, like this, and run it and that's the QR code with that text in it. Well, Generate QR Code from Text will turn any text, like abc, into a code. Let's create a new shortcut here and we're going to search, right away, for QR right there and Generate QR code comes up. Anything you can bring up in the Safari web browser can be made into a code and you can do that with the Shortcuts app. Even the address to a twitter or instagram account can be turned into a QR code. So if you have a business website or a personal blog or anything like that you can create a QR code for it. You can easily create your own QR codes for any website or webpage that you have. The last few years have taught us that they are those little digital images you can see various places, like in restaurants, when you can get the menu by pointing your iPhone's camera at the QR code.
