Google made its URL Shortener Goo.gl available publicly recently. Goo.gl provides automatic spam detection and as it is from Google we can assure maximum uptime and reliability. Goo.gl also provides analytics on the links like Link History, Traffic, Referrers, countries, browsers, platform etcetera. This will be an excellent URL shortener free of cost.

Apart from these exciting features, Goo.gl URL shortener also allows you to create QR codes for your website links. Google uses QR  Code for its personal use in many applications, as it quickly directs android phones to application downloads.

What is a QR Code ?

A QR Code is a matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by QR scanners, mobile phones with a camera, and smartphones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.

How to Generate QR Codes Using Goo.gl

1. Go to goo.gl

2. Shorten Your URL

3. Add .qr at the end of the link and go to that link in your browser.
