Create QR

Create a QR code for the current page in one click. Open Create QR from the toolbar and the exact address of your active tab is ready immediately. You can replace it with any link or text, then save a clean image for sharing, documents, or print. Everything is drawn inside the popup window on your own computer, so the picture appears the moment you stop typing and nothing has to load from a server. WHAT IT DOES - Encodes the current tab with zero extra clicks - Accepts your own link or text and redraws immediately - Downloads a high-resolution PNG at 256, 512, or 1024 pixels - Downloads a true vector SVG that stays sharp at any print size - Puts the image straight on the clipboard with the "Copy" button - Keeps a standards-compliant white quiet zone on every export, including in dark mode - Shows character and UTF-8 byte counts while you type - Offers four error-correction levels: Low, Medium, Quartile, and High - Refuses oversized input with an explicit capacity error instead of silently cutting it - Remembers your export size, correction level, and light, dark, or system popup theme - Needs no account, no sign-in, and no setup WHEN THIS IS USEFUL Sharing a page with the person sitting next to you. Put the picture on screen, they point a phone camera at it, and the page opens. No dictating a long address, no messaging app in between. Printing a handout, poster, menu, or shipping label. The SVG export is a real vector, so the pattern stays crisp whether it is printed three centimetres wide or three metres wide. Moving a link from your laptop to your phone. Handy for a long checkout page, a boarding pass, or a form you started on the wrong device. Putting a link into a slide deck or a PDF. Drop in the PNG at 1024 pixels and it survives projection and zooming. Handing over Wi-Fi details, a phone number, or a short note. Type the text yourself and the same encoder handles it. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Does the picture expire? No. What you get is a static code: the address is written into the pattern itself. There is no hosted destination that anyone could switch off later, so there is no expiry date and no scan limit. Is my link shortened or redirected? Never. Your input is encoded exactly as provided, character for character. A scanner shows the same address you typed. Where does the work happen? Inside the popup window, by code shipped with the extension. Switch off your network connection and it still works. Can I edit an image after I download it? The file is final once saved, but making another one takes a second: change the text and download again. Which format should I pick? PNG for screens, chat, and slides. SVG for print, cutting machines, and anything that will be resized later. A scanner does not read my picture. What now? Raise the error-correction level, choose a larger export size, and leave light space around it. Very long text produces a dense pattern that cheap cameras struggle with, so shorter input is easier to read. What about non-Latin text and emoji? Supported. Text is encoded as UTF-8, and the byte counter shows exactly how much room is left. Do I need an account? No. There is no sign-up, no login, and no paid tier. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Works offline. Nothing is sent anywhere. Only activeTab permission. No account, analytics, ads, or tracking. The active tab address is used only inside the popup, is not stored, and never leaves your browser. Your input is encoded exactly as provided. It is never replaced with a short link and never routed through a redirect. Static codes have no expiry or scan limit because there is no hosted destination to disable. HONEST LIMITS Create QR only creates codes; it does not read or scan them. It cannot count scans, because nothing is counted when no server is involved. It cannot work on a page you are not looking at: it reads the active tab, and only after you click the icon. Input is capped at 2,000 characters, and very long text can still exceed the capacity of the chosen correction level. In that case you get a clear message instead of a truncated result. The popup interface is in English; this store listing is translated. Use the text field when you want to make a QR code from a message, or turn a URL into a QR code for another device. BUILT-IN LIBRARIES The pattern is produced by the MIT-licensed QR Code generator library by Project Nayuki, bundled inside the extension in readable, unminified form. Nothing is fetched from a remote server at any point, which is exactly why the extension keeps working with no connection. QR Code is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED.
