Make a QR code

  1. Select a link or text clip in the dashboard.
  2. Choose Show QR Code in its details.
  3. Scan it with your phone, or click Copy Image to paste it somewhere, or Save… to keep it as a PNG.
  • Links are encoded without their tracking parameters.
  • Clips longer than about 2,000 characters are too long for a QR code, so the action isn't shown for them.

Read a QR code

Copy a screenshot or image with a QR code or barcode in it. Maclip reads it as the image arrives, along with any text. The image's details then offer Copy QR Code Content, and Open QR Code Link when the code holds a web address. Search finds the image by what the code says.
