The knowledge we want to share today is: how to convert a picture into a link?
We have introduced the method of converting pictures into QR codes in 2D Rainbow before, so it is actually very simple to convert pictures into links! When creating product details pages for e-commerce operations, writers setting cover images for online novels, product operations, planning events, etc., there may be a need to convert pictures into links.
Before introducing the detailed steps of converting pictures to links, let's first understand a basic and important knowledge of QR codes, namely the difference between dynamic QR codes and static QR codes.
Currently, all QR codes are divided into two categories: (1) static QR codes; (2) dynamic QR codes.
The differences and differences between them are:
First, the content of the QR code: the content displayed by the static QR code is very limited, generally a URL link, or a short text message; the dynamic QR code can display more information and more diverse forms (picture , text, video, multiple URL links, audio, PDF files, etc.).
Second, tracking data: Static QR codes cannot track the scanned data of the QR code; dynamic QR codes can track the scanned data of the QR code, such as the number of scans, scanning time, scanning location, etc.
Third, content update: once the static QR code is created, its content cannot be updated; however, the content of the dynamic QR code can be updated at any time.
Fourth, password function: some dynamic QR codes (such as file QR codes) of QR Code also support setting passwords; static QR codes do not have this function.
The picture QR codes generated in 2D Rainbow are all dynamic QR codes.
After each picture QR code is generated, a corresponding short link will be automatically generated. So whether you scan this QR code or click on this short link, you can see that picture.
Let's take a look at how to convert a picture into a URL link!
(1) Log in to the official website of 2D Rainbow
No need to download any software, just create a QR code online and download the finished QR code picture!
(2) Select the "File" option
to upload the picture prepared in advance, and then click to generate a QR code.
It should be noted that only one picture can be uploaded at a time here, and a QR code (link) will be generated. If you have multiple pictures and need to generate a QR code (link), you can first generate a PDF file from multiple pictures, and then upload it through "File". Or use the "H5 editing" function of 2D Rainbow, but when using it, it is recommended to consult the official website and customer service in advance.
(3) Beautify the QR code of the picture
Do some beautification design on the QR code in the way you like. Including choosing different QR code pattern styles, setting gradient colors, choosing your favorite border, etc.
(4) Scan test and download completed
Before clicking download, scan test is required. Make sure that the QR code can be recognized normally and the displayed content is correct. Then download the QR code image.
(5) Obtain the short link
Click [My Account]-[Data Overview] in the upper right corner of the official website, find the [File] column on this page, and find the QR code of the picture just made. Next to the QR code, you can see the short link of this QR code.
Now the purpose of generating short links from pictures is achieved.
Click on this short link to see the picture. You can display this link as a text hyperlink, or directly display an image link.
So what are the advantages of linking pictures generated from pictures through a two-dimensional rainbow?
First, the scope of application is wider. Not only can you use short links to display pictures, but you can also display pictures through QR codes.
Second, scan data can be tracked. How many times the link of the picture has been clicked to view can be checked directly in the background.
Third, update at any time. Without changing the picture link and QR code, you can update and replace the picture in the background at any time.
In 2D Rainbow, in addition to generating a link (QR code) from a picture, it can also generate a link (QR code) from a PDF file, and can also generate a link (QR code) from the content of a picture + text + video. If you do not have your own independent official website, you can display your product information, brand profile, product brochure, event details, etc. through an H5 editing QR code (link).
The effect is as follows:
Scan this H5 edit QR code, and open its short link, you will see the same content.
The above is all the content about the picture transfer link.
