By Damien Oh

We have shown you several ways to create QR code, and most of them require you to visit a website or download a software. For Google Documents (aka. Google Drive) user, here is a quick way you can create QR code.

1. Create a new Spreadsheet in Google Drive.

2. In Column A, enter the content that you want to embed in the QR code. It can be a URL, a word, sentence, or paragraph, a contact number.

3. In the respective cell in Column B, paste in the following forumla:

=image("https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=" & A1)

You can change the 150×150 value to set the QR code size. Also, change the “A1” value to the cell where it will grab the content to embed.

This is what you will see:
