You can't directly generate a QR code within a Google Colab notebook and have it represent the live,

interactive state of the notebook. QR codes are static representations of text or URLs.

However, you can generate a QR code that links to the shareable URL of your Google Colab
notebook. This allows others to open and view (or copy and run, depending on the sharing settings)
your notebook.

Here's a step-by-step process:

1. Get the Shareable Link of Your Google Colab Notebook:

a. Open your Google Colab notebook.

b. Click on the "Share" button located in the top right corner of the Colab interface.

c. Adjust the sharing settings:

* To allow anyone to view: Under the "Get link" section, click "Change to anyone with the link" and
select the "Viewer" permission.

* To allow anyone to comment: Select the "Commenter" permission.

* To allow anyone to edit (be cautious with this): Select the "Editor" permission.

* For specific people: Add their email addresses and set their permissions.

d. Copy the generated link. This is the URL you will encode into the QR code.

2. Use an Online QR Code Generator:

There are many free online QR code generators available. Here are a few popular options:

 https://www.qr-code-generator.com/

 https://www.the-qrcode-generator.com/1

 https://goqr.me/

Simply visit one of these websites (or any other QR code generator you prefer).

3. Generate the QR Code:

a. Locate the input field on the QR code generator website (it might be labeled "Enter text or URL,"
"Your URL," etc.).

b. Paste the shareable link you copied from Google Colab into this field.

c. The QR code will be generated automatically.

4. Download or Save the QR Code:

Most QR code generators provide options to:

 Download the QR code as an image file (e.g., PNG, JPG, SVG).

 Save the QR code directly.

 Get an embed code if you want to display it on a website.

Example using Python (within Colab or locally):


You can also generate QR codes programmatically using Python libraries like qrcode. If you want to
generate the QR code image within your Colab notebook (though it won't directly link from within
Colab itself), you can do this:

Python

import qrcode

from IPython.display import Image, display

# Replace with your Colab notebook's shareable link

colab_link = "YOUR_COLAB_SHAREABLE_LINK_HERE"

# Create a QR code object

qr = qrcode.QRCode(

version=1,

error_correction=qrcode.constants.ERROR_CORRECT_L,

box_size=10,

border=4,

# Add the data (your Colab link)

qr.add_data(colab_link)

qr.make(fit=True)

# Create an image from the QR code object

img = qr.make_image(fill_color="black", back_color="white")

# Save the image (optional)

img.save("colab_notebook_qr.png")

# Display the image in the Colab notebook

display(Image("colab_notebook_qr.png"))

Important Considerations:
 Sharing Permissions: The QR code will only be useful if the sharing permissions of your
Google Colab notebook are set appropriately for the intended recipients.

 Static Link: The QR code represents the URL at the time of generation. If the shareable link of
your notebook changes, you'll need to generate a new QR code.

 No Interactive State: The QR code will only open the notebook in a browser. It won't transfer
any currently running code, variables, or output from your active Colab session.

By following these steps, you can easily create a QR code that directs others to your Google Colab
notebook.
