What is QR Code Generator?
QR (Quick Response) codes are 2D barcodes that encode URLs, text, WiFi credentials, vCards, and payment data. Scanned by smartphone cameras, they bridge physical and digital experiences — marketing materials, restaurant menus, event tickets, and product packaging.
Our generator creates QR codes client-side with no server upload.
