Create QR Code or PDF417 barcode which can be coiped and pasted into Avery label template

What is the easiest way to create a QR Code or a PDF417 bar code, which can then be copied and pasted into regular Avery type label templates?
Can Microsoft Word be used to do this, or can a simple program be used to do this?

I have used a number of sites to do this. It depends on how many you wish to generate. These are good for one-offs:

https://www.qr-code-generator.com/
https://www.the-qrcode-generator.com/
https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/
https://www.qrstuff.com/

A web search for "create qr" will get you many hits. I've personally used this one with good results:
http://goqr.me/

Likewise, a web search for "create pdf417" will get you many hits. but I've never personally used any of them. Regards, Joe

My personal preference is qrstuff - I have used it in the past and like the results.

Hi Tom,
I had never used qrstuff.com before. Attached are the QR codes of "hello world" created by goqr.me and qrstuff.com. Let me know what you think when comparing them. Regards, Joe
