Convert URLs -or anything- to QR code images and automatically upload them as attachments in Airtable. Process the entire table all at once instead of generating them one by one.
Input examples: URL
text
email
phone number
contact card
event
..etc.
💡This automation works perfectly when used together with a miniExtensions Form edit URL, as described here.
I see gray icons instead of QR code images, why?
These placeholders mean that Airtable is still working on generating your thumbnails. This process takes time. Just wait! It could take hours and will resolve on its own. Don’t worry!
The qr code I generated is named “unnamed attachement.png”. If I generate in bulk, will they all have their own unique name? I.e. can I download them and still know which record they belong to?
Yes, you can use one of our extensions to download all your attachments files and rename them after some other field you have in your table.
For every new record entered, does it automatically create qrcode once its setup? or do we have to repeat a procedure?
You can schedule it to run automatically on any new records.
Can I keep the generated QR codes even when I cancel my subscription?
Of course. They stay in Airtable forever.
Does this extension create QR code URL for every record in Airtable? We want to pull up that particular record when we scan a QR code.
If you’re trying to generate a QR code for every record so that people can scan it with their camera and see that record in their browser, then you can use these 2 extensions to achieve that:

I’d like to use miniExtensions form, but I want to open the form when I scan a QR code already associated with a record.
This would be a 2-steps process:
1. Setup a miniExtensions form in your table to generate a form URL for every record.
2. Convert those URLs to QR codes.
Or you can use this extension: miniExtensions Form with Lookup Page

I’m trying to generate the alpha numeric number for QR codes for my inventory. Then I plan to use the image generator in my Airtable. Can you help me with generation the alpha numeric number?
You can use our random number generator extension. It allows you to generate alphanumeric numbers as well.
Is it possible to generate the QR code inside of a Frame? This is exactly what I was looking for in terms of generating QR codes automatically inside of airtable. But I would like the QR code inside of a “Scan Me” Frame. Is that possible?
This is not possible directly with our QR code generator extension, but you can use another extension to achieve that. After generating your QR code images, you can apply certain effects/frames on them using our Cloudinary extension.
