Generate QR Code from your web page links

Javascript Plug-in that allows Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, or Google Chrome user to generate QR Code from any URL link, which exists in currently viewed page. It's a bookmarklet (a bookmark containing JavaScript).

Browser Support

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

This script is supported in all major browsers.

Here is simple example how to use it:

  • Search for a "java mobile" - in order to find some useful mobile applications.
  • If you think that on the page exists download link which you'd like to have in your mobile browser, push "QRCode" bookmark
  • Small window opens with QR-code of the first file link found on the page. If there is more such links on the page, you will find direct links to the QR-code on the result window.
  • Now, if you can see the QR-code, you do not need to download file into PC. You do not need to painfuly type URL on the mobile phone. Use your phone 2d barcode reader (some great, free readers available on the net) for decoding the picture and go directly to your download link.

    • .jad file links QR-code generator

  • Installation - method #1
    • Drag and drop QRCode generator to your browser bookmarks bar.

    (If drag&drop does not work for you, use mouse - right click and select "Bookmark This Link")

  • Installation - method #2
    • Create an bookmark manualy - copy and paste following code into bookmark URL: 
    


javascript:void((i=(document.links.length>300)?300:document.links.length-1));
void((j='http://wikarski.com/q/?u='+escape(location.href)));
do{k=String(document.links[i]);(k.indexOf(".jad")>0)?j=j+'\&c[]'+'='+escape(document.links[i]):k="";}while(i--);
void(window.open(j,"QRCode","width=305,height=320,top=0,left=0,location=0,resizable=yes"));
    In the Name field, enter "QR-Code" or something you will remember.

    For other use cases, use other bookmarks:

    .jar file links QR-code generator

    Drag and drop QRCodeJAR generator to your browser bookmarks bar.

    (If drag&drop does not work for you, use mouse - right click and select "Bookmark This Link")

    .cab file links QR-code generator

    Drag and drop QRCodeCAB generator to your browser bookmarks bar.

    (If drag&drop does not work for you, use mouse - right click and select "Bookmark This Link")

    .html file links QR-code generator

    Drag and drop QRCodeHTML generator to your browser bookmarks bar.

    (If drag&drop does not work for you, use mouse - right click and select "Bookmark This Link")

    No use? You need another file extension filter? No problem. Edit the bookmark - instead of k.indexOf(".jad") put for example k.indexOf(".exe") ...

    Hint: Waypoint File Formats - for geocaching, GPS software... bookmark ".loc", ".gpx" or ".klm" modified script.

    Great work! Could you make the bookmarklet turn the current page's url into a QRcode? What about the text selected on the screen?
