How to generate QR code from image?

Everyone says it is easy to generate a QR code from an image using the Shortcuts app but I'm still having issues with it. I saw a tutorial on YouTube but the video skipped steps so it was no help. Help!

Mac Pro (2019)

The Generate QR code action in shortcuts expects text input, not an image, and then the result will be a QR coded image.


This appears to circumvent your idea of generating a QR code from an image with Apple software unless you want to try your hand with programming in CoreImage using a QR Code Generator filter. If you don't want to go there, you may be able to find online tools that can generate a QR code from an Image.
