Welcome! In this video tutorial, we’ll be having a look at how to create a QR code in Excel in a free and simple way. Keep watching to learn more! Hello! And welcome to EasyClick Academy! My name’s Frank and together with our EasyClick team, we’re here to make sure you’ll be able to use Excel in a quick and easy way, thanks to our digestible video tutorials. If you’d like to create QR codes in Excel, first you’ll need to install a handy add-in which will enable you to do so. And this is easier than you might think. Click up here, on the Insert tab, find the group ‘Add-ins’ and click on the option ‘Get Add-ins’. You’ll see a library of features where you can use the option ‘Search’ to look for the ‘QR4Office’ add-in. Now just confirm your choice by clicking on ‘Add’, and you’re all set! On the right-hand side of the screen, QR4Office will open a pane which you can use to create your own QR codes. Before we go through how to do that, let’s have a look at how you can display these options for QR4Office add-in anytime you need. Close the pane and if you’d like to see it again, go to ‘My Add-ins’ up here at the top. A whole list of installed add-ins appears, so double-click on this one and it opens on the right again. And now let’s move on to create a QR code together. Up here you can choose whether you want to create a QR code from a URL address, email or telephone or you can select any other item on the list. We’re gonna use the URL address, so we’ll go for the option ‘https://’ and we’ll type in ‘easyclickacademy.com’. Now you can pick a colour for the generated QR code here or the background colour here. But for now, we’ll keep the colours as they are. This slider here helps you set the right size of the QR code you need. The current size is displayed in pixels above the QR code. Well, the last thing to set is Error correction. The right error correction level can improve scannability in case the code gets dirty or damaged or part of it is covered with another image. You can select from four options, but for now we’ll keep it to ‘Medium’ and move on. Once everything’s been set, just click on the button ‘Insert’ down here and that’s it! Here’s your QR code all ready to be moved where you need it. If you right-click on it and select the option ‘Save as Picture’, the QR code will be saved into your computer and you can use it in any other application.
