How to Add QR Codes on Facebook

Print this articleYou can generate QR codes directly from Facebook with the "QR Code Generator" application. The app is free and lets you post the generated QR code image to your Facebook profile, page or send it as a private message to a friend on the social network. The Facebook user who sees the code needs to have a QR reader on their smart phone in order to scan, decode and make use of the code.
