QR Code Generator — Fully Private
Generate custom QR codes instantly. Create codes for websites, text, emails, Wi-Fi networks, and vCards. Your data never leaves your browser.
What is a QR Code Generator?
A QR code generator is a tool that converts text, URLs, email addresses, or other structured information into a 2D barcode format called a Quick Response (QR) code. These codes can be scanned by smartphone cameras or dedicated barcode scanners to quickly access the encoded information without manual typing.
Why use a private QR code tool?
Many free QR code generators actively track scans or require you to upload your sensitive information to their servers. For encoding confidential internal links, private Wi-Fi passwords, or personal vCard details, you need a tool that operates entirely on your device. This generator runs offline in your browser.
How to create a QR code
- Select the type of QR code you want (URL, Text, Email, Wi-Fi, etc.)
- Enter your information into the fields
- Customize the code by adjusting size and error correction
- Click Download (PNG or SVG) to save the code locally
Error correction levels explained
QR codes use Reed-Solomon error correction, allowing them to remain scannable even if partially damaged or obscured. Higher levels improve scannability but make the QR code denser:
- L (Low): Approx 7% restoration — best for simple URLs.
- M (Medium): Approx 15% restoration — standard for most uses.
- Q (Quartile): Approx 25% restoration.
- H (High): Approx 30% restoration — best for codes with logos or those exposed to wear and tear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these QR codes dynamic or static?
These are static QR codes. They encode your data directly into the image, meaning they never expire, don't rely on redirect servers, and work indefinitely.
Is my data uploaded to any server?
No. Conversion processing happens entirely within your web browser using JavaScript client-side rendering.
Can I scan these codes on any smartphone?
Yes, natively on iOS using the Camera app, and on all modern Android devices using Google Lens or the built-in camera.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, completely free with no limits or watermarks.
