About QR Code Generator
QR Code Generator β Instant QR codes for any tab
Turn any webpage into a scannable QR code in one click. No sign-up, no tracking, no internet connection required β everything runs locally inside the extension.
How it works Click the QR Code Generator icon in your Chrome toolbar and a QR code for your current tab is generated instantly. Scan it with any phone camera to share the link, open it on another device, or save it for later.
Features
π² Instant QR generation β Opens your current tab's URL as a QR code the moment the popup loads. No button to press, no waiting.
πΎ Download as PNG β Save the QR code as a PNG image, automatically named after the page's hostname (e.g. qr-github-com.png).
π Copy URL β Copy the current page URL to your clipboard with one click. A brief "β Copied!" confirmation lets you know it worked.
π Privacy-first β The extension reads only the URL of your active tab. No data is sent to any server. No analytics. No ads. No accounts.
β‘ Lightweight β No background service worker running constantly. The extension activates only when you open the popup.
π± High error-correction β QR codes are generated at the highest error-correction level (H), so they scan reliably even when partially obscured or printed small.
Permissions explained This extension requests only two permissions:
activeTab β reads the URL of the tab you're currently viewing, only when the popup is open.
tabs β used to query the active tab's URL from the popup context.
No other data is accessed or stored.
