Keep payloads short for denser, easier scans. Test with your phone camera before printing.
Privacy and offline-friendly processing
Whenever possible, QR Code Generator processes your data locally with JavaScript in this page. That means drafts, secrets, and unfinished work stay on your device by default. Prefer this workflow when you do not want to upload sensitive text, tokens, passwords, or files to a third-party service.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a limit to how much text I can encode?

Can I use the QR code for print materials?
Yes, the downloaded PNG is high resolution enough for most business cards, flyers, and posters.
Is my data uploaded when I use this tool?
