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.
