Occasionally it is much easier to launch a QR-coded URL on the desktop instead of on the phone/pad. This handy tool does the trick. It is inexpensive but effective. The low price is worth it: I appreciate not having to purchase other so-called features within an app that claims to be free. Hold the QR up to the camera and it shows the URL generated. Copy the URL to your browser and boom, done.

This Laptop QR Reader & Generator is so helpful! I used it to scan a QR code from my son’s school and also created a QR code for my business—all within minutes of downloading. It works exactly as described: you can use your computer camera to scan, or simply drag and drop a screenshot onto the app and it opens instantly.QR codes can sometimes feel cumbersome on a laptop, but this made the process simple and quick. Creating a QR code is just as easy—copy and paste what you want into the field, and it generates multiple style options to choose from. Fast, reliable, and very user-friendly. Highly recommend!
