How to Copy a QR Code on PC or Mac

Using Windows

Open the QR code you want to save. You can screenshot and save a QR code from the web or another file on your computer.

Draw a box around the QR code to trim it. The keyboard shortcut opens the Snipping Tool to the Rectangular Selection tool. Click and drag the mouse to draw a box around the QR code—when you lift your finger from the mouse, the screenshot will be captured and copied to your clipboard.

Paste the copied QR code. You can now paste the QR code into any document, email message, or app by right-clicking a typing area and selecting Paste.

Using a Mac
