If you right click within a webpage on Chrome in Mac OS 15.0.1, you get a drop down menu with a list of options, one of which is Create QR Code for this Page. I wasn't looking for it, but it popped up this morning. I tried it on Safari and didn't get the same option.
Mike: That's a special thing that Chrome does, yes. It always includes that little dinosaur in the middle too. You can use that if you like, but I'm trying to show you a way to do it without a third-party app.

Hi Gary.
I have updated both my Mac OS Laptop and my phone to the latest software updates and when I go to Gallery and search for QR codes nothing comes up. Can you suggest what may be wrong? Thanks in advance.
Keith: First, only look on your Mac. Are you using macOS Sequoia (latest doesn't necessary mean that, it depends on your Mac and how you are updating). Search for "Make QR code" the whole thing.

Wow, Thanks so much Gary! I make these often and have had to use a third-party app that I am not crazy about. This is a game changer!
