How to create a QR Code
There are a lot of qr generator web sites, some provide advanced functions such as generate qr code from files, video/audio or wifi, VCard, but usually we have to pay for these functions.
The most simplest way is to just generate a qr code from a url: the url can be anything as long as it’s publicly accessible. We can put videos, audios, pdfs or any files in cloud storage like GDrive, Dropbox etc.
