QR Code Creator for adding a QR Code about yourself or Website


What:  QR Code Generator
Cost:  Free (paid version offers scan tracking and other benefits)
Why:  For Resumes, Cover letters, & Business Cards

This QR Creator is the easiest and the best out there that I have found.  I tried several sites and found this to be the best.  When you create a Digital Business Card, once the code is scanned it brings up the contact information you want to share---including your photo, information you want shared and any websites/links.  It will also give the scanner the option to save to contacts on their phone.  This is super easy to do.  Just put your information in and create the code.  Download and save- print on labels to add to the back of a business card.  Many options and very handy.  If you wanted to keep track of the number of times it is scanned you can pay for monthly access to reports.
