Chrome's way
Chrome’s built-in QR code
Chrome can make a QR code for the page you’re on:
- Go to the page you want to open on your phone.
- Open the More menu (⋮), choose Cast, save, and share, then Create QR code.
- Scan the code with your phone’s camera. You can also copy the link, or click Download to save the code.

TabCmdr's way
Show a QR code with TabCmdr
TabCmdr is a keyboard launcher that lives in your browser. It puts a QR code for the page on screen in two keystrokes, without going through menus.
Before you start: add TabCmdr from the Chrome Web Store. It has a 7-day free trial and needs no account.
Step 1: Open the palette and type qr
On the page you want to send, press ⌘+K on a Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux and type qr. QR Code for Current Page comes first.
qr finds the QR Code for Current Page command.Step 2: Press Enter
The page blurs behind a white card with the QR code, the start of the page’s address and a Copy Image button.
Step 3: Scan it with your phone
Point your phone’s camera at the code and open the link it finds. Press Esc, or click outside the card, to close it.
The code holds the page’s full address, including anything after a ? or #, so your phone lands on the same page and the same spot. If the page needs you to sign in, you’ll have to sign in on your phone too.
Copy the QR code as a picture
Click Copy Image on the card to copy the code as a picture. The card closes and QR code copied appears at the bottom of the page. Paste it into a chat, an email or a slide to share the link with someone else.
TabCmdr makes the code in your browser, so the address isn’t sent anywhere. The QR code feature page has more.
