Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this tool.

How does the browser QR Code Generator work?

The generator encodes your URL or text string into a 2D matrix barcode rendered on an HTML5 `<canvas>` element using client-side JavaScript.

Can I download the generated QR code as a high-res PNG?

Yes! Click the "Download PNG" button to export a crisp 300x300 pixel PNG image file.

What types of data can be encoded in a QR code?

You can encode website URLs (`https://...`), plain text messages, Wi-Fi credentials (`WIFI:S:...`), email addresses, and phone numbers.

Is my data tracked or sent to any external server?

No! The QR code is generated 100% locally in your browser using canvas APIs. No data is stored or logged anywhere.

What color contrast is required for scannability?

Ensure high contrast between the QR code foreground and background colors (e.g. dark foreground on a white or light background) for mobile camera scanners.
