Code Studio - QR & Barcode Generator

Code Studio - QR & Barcode Generator Create, customize, download and scan QR codes directly in Chrome. Code Studio brings static code creation, barcode generation, design controls and local QR scanning into one extension, with no account required. Turn a website, contact card, Wi-Fi network or message into a code you can share. Add your brand colors and logo, export an image or vector file, and read QR codes from a chosen image or your camera. Use the toolbar for a quick task or open the full studio for more options. CREATE THE CODE YOU NEED Website links Connect people to a website, portfolio, product page, restaurant menu, event page or online form. Enter the full destination address and generate a code that contains that link. For example, you can create a code for https://lalitbahel.com and use it on a business card or presentation. Plain text Encode a short message, reference, instruction or other text. The content is stored in the code itself rather than uploaded as a hosted document. Keep longer material on a suitable website and share its link when a compact code is more practical. Wi-Fi access Enter a network name, security type and password to prepare a Wi-Fi code. This is useful for guest networks at home, in an office or in a welcoming space. The password is part of the encoded content, so share the finished code only with people who should have access. Contact cards Create a vCard with the contact details you choose to include. Add it to a business card, introduction slide, brochure or event material so people can read your details with a compatible scanner or contact application. Email Prepare a recipient, subject and message for an email. Use it to make an enquiry or feedback action easier to start. The receiving device handles the email action; Code Studio does not send messages for you. WhatsApp Create a link to a conversation with an optional prepared message. Add it to printed information or a contact card to make it easier for someone to start an enquiry using their own device. Phone and SMS Make a telephone number easier to dial, or prepare an SMS recipient and message. Scanning and completing the action depend on the receiving device and its installed applications. Calls and messages are not placed or sent by the extension. Location Share a place using latitude and longitude that you enter. Code Studio does not automatically detect your location or request GPS access. UPI payment requests Prepare a request using a UPI ID and payee name, with an optional amount and note. The extension encodes the request only. It does not access bank accounts, process a payment or confirm whether money was received. Review all payment details in the receiving payment app before proceeding. CREATE FROM THE PAGE YOU ARE VIEWING Use the extension popup to bring in the current page's URL when you invoke Code Studio. Review the address and create a code without moving between unrelated websites. Right-click actions also let you send a page URL, link URL, selected text or image source URL into the full editor. Only the value you choose is used for the requested action. The image right-click action creates a code containing the image's URL. It does not download the image or scan a QR code inside that image. To read an existing QR image, use the scanner's file chooser instead. MAKE IT MATCH YOUR BRAND Start with one of six QR designs: Classic, Soft, Dotted, Orbit, Diamond or Gem. Fine-tune the small data shapes using Square, Rounded, Dots or Diamond patterns. Choose Square, Rounded or Circle corner styles and adjust foreground and background colors. Combine these controls to create a look that fits your project while keeping the content unchanged. Add a PNG, JPEG or WebP logo from your device. The file is handled locally and placed in the QR output. Remove it or change the design as you work. Choose strong contrast and keep the code easy to read. A distinctive design is useful only when the final result can still be scanned. EXPORT FOR DIGITAL AND PRINT PROJECTS Download PNG images for presentations, documents, websites and other layouts that use image files. Choose SVG when you need scalable code artwork for a design or print workflow. When a logo is included in an SVG export, the logo is embedded as an image. The SVG container does not turn a raster logo into editable vector paths. Before enabling QR downloads, the renderer checks that the generated output decodes to the original content. A design that does not pass the check needs adjustment before export. This checks the code's content, not the trustworthiness of its destination. Always test the final exported file and a printed sample with the devices you expect people to use. Keep the clear space around the code, avoid stretching it, and check that your layout, colors and logo have not made it difficult to scan. An in-app check is not a guarantee for every camera, scanner or printing condition. GENERATE COMMON BARCODE FORMATS Beyond QR, the full studio produces widely used barcode formats for retail, shipping, packaging and inventory labels — including linear formats like Code 128 and EAN-13, plus 2D formats such as Data Matrix and PDF417. Choose the required format, enter an appropriate value, review the output and export it. Supported formats have different input requirements, so use the type and data expected by your intended workflow. These tools are useful when preparing label artwork, reference codes, product information layouts, packaging concepts or test data. Code Studio generates symbols; it is not an inventory database, product registration service or label-printing management system. READ QR CODES FROM IMAGES OR YOUR CAMERA Choose a PNG, JPEG or WebP image containing a QR code and decode it locally. This is useful for checking a code you exported or reading one from an image already saved on your computer. You can also start the camera scanner in the full editor. Camera use requires browser…
