Create QR code on Mac

Thanks to the free "Softmatic QR Perfect" tool, Mac users can also create QR codes:

1. Download the application from the App Store and install it.
2. Choose what QR code you want to create.
3. For example, you can create plain text, your business card, an event, any URL, an email address, WiFi access or map data from Maps.
4. The generated code is displayed on the right side. You can still adjust it graphically as you like.
5. If you like the code, you can either save it as an image (formats: PNG, TIFF, JPEG & GIF) or as a PDF file.

This practical tip is based on QR Perfect 2.4 on Mac OS X. You can also create a QR code online. You can read how to do this in our next practical tip.
