About Max QR Code Tools: QR Scanner & Generator
Max QR Code Tools — a technical tool for generating, customising, and scanning QR codes and linear barcodes directly in your browser.
📐 GENERATION FEATURES AND FORMATS
• Vector SVG vs. raster PNG:
- SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics): generates clean vector outlines without a pixel grid. Vector QR codes maintain absolute clarity when scaled to any size (ideal for print, banners, signage) and import correctly into graphic editors (Figma, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW).
- PNG: raster format with adjustable physical resolution (in pixels) for use in web documents and digital materials.
• Central logo integration:
- When a logo is enabled, the generator automatically increases error correction to the maximum Level H (High, recovering up to 30% of damaged data).
- A white isolating base with rounded corners is created beneath the logo, preventing dark code modules from overlapping the logo image and ensuring 100% readability by scanners.
• Colour scheme customisation:
- Choose any colour for the code pixels and background while maintaining contrast.
• Supported encoding standards:
- 2D codes: QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417.
- Linear barcodes: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, Code 128, Code 39.
🔍 SCANNING METHODS AND ALGORITHMS
• Screen Area Capture:
- Select any part of a web page with an interactive frame. Enables scanning QR codes and barcodes from video streams, online presentations, webinars, and sites with disabled context menus.
• Image processing:
- Recognise graphics from web pages via the browser’s context menu.
- Direct paste of image data from the clipboard (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V).
- File uploads via the file picker or Drag-and-Drop.
• Recognition algorithm (Multi-Engine Decoder):
- Sequential decoding cascade using the native BarcodeDetector API, along with jsQR and ZXing software algorithms to ensure decryption of damaged or low-contrast images.
⚙️ AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING (SMART PARSING)
• Wi-Fi network module:
- Extracts WIFI:S:...;T:...;P:...; structure, separating SSID, encryption type (WPA/WPA2/WEP), and provides an automatic button to copy the password to the clipboard.
• Product analytics (EAN / UPC):
- Identifies product barcodes and generates direct search queries in Google and Yandex for quick product identification.
• Web links and text blocks:
- Automatic URL validation with the option to open in a new tab and extract unstructured text.
🔒 SECURITY AND ARCHITECTURE (OFFLINE-FIRST)
• Local processing:
- The extension operates entirely within the browser sandbox without using external server APIs.
- Scanned images and generated texts are not transmitted over the network or stored on third-party resources.
- Fully functional without an internet connection.
📂 HISTORY MANAGEMENT
• Local log:
- Stores up to 50 of the most recent generated and scanned entries in chrome.storage.local.
- Export the entire operation history to a structured JSON file.
