Share URLs and Contacts as QR Codes
Turn an event URL or contact details into a QR code on the spot. Save the generated image as-is, then resize it to fit flyers or posters. Everything runs inside your browser.
Why This Takes Longer Than It Should
Event check-in, in-store signage, business cards, handouts — turning a URL or a contact into a QR code is an everyday task. But many free generators issue a QR that points through their own shortener, so every scan routes via their server and gets logged: when, where, how many times. And if the service shuts down, the code stops working and every poster and business card you printed becomes waste.
What's Actually At Risk Here
- ✓The generated code embeds your URL directly. No shortener in the middle means no third party logging the scans.
- ✓It doesn't depend on this service staying alive — a printed code keeps working even if the site disappears.
- ✓The same applies to Wi-Fi passwords and contact cards: what you type is never transmitted.

Where People Get Tripped Up
These catch people out even when the steps are followed correctly. Skimming them first saves a redo.
- Longer URLs produce denser codes that scan poorly. Shorten long URLs before generating for print.
- Print at 2 cm square or larger. Below that, phone cameras struggle to focus.
- Contrast matters. Codes laid over photos or pale colors have a noticeably lower scan rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What format is the generated QR code saved in?
- It is saved as an image file, ready to paste into documents or print directly.
- Is the content I enter sent anywhere?
- No. QR codes are generated entirely in your browser, and the text you enter is never sent to any external server.
