QR Code Generator & Reader by brownie.tools by brownie.tools

Make a QR code for this page, a link, text or Wi-Fi, and read QR codes on any page. Works offline. Nothing is uploaded.

About this extension

This extension makes and reads QR codes in the browser toolbar popup. Everything happens on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, and what you make here never expires.

What it does

Create: a QR for the page you are on, a link or any text. Download it as PNG or SVG, or copy the image or the text.
Tracking cleanup: removes utm and click-id parameters from links before they go in, and tells you how many it removed.
Style: pick the size, the error correction level and the colors, and add a logo in the center. A warning appears when the colors are too close for phones to read.
Wi-Fi: type the network name and password to get a QR that joins the network. The password is never saved unless you tick the box.
Scan: read the QR codes in the tab you are looking at, or from an image you choose, drop or paste. Each result is shown by type with its full web address, and links get warnings for short links, look-alike characters, plain http, numeric addresses and user names in the address.
History: what you made and scanned stays on this device. You can remove items, clear all, or turn history off.

How to use it

Click the toolbar icon, or press Alt+Shift+Q. The QR for the current page is ready at once.
Right-click a link or a text selection and choose a QR item. Press Alt+Shift+S, or choose the scan item, to read them.
Download or copy the result.
