YOUR CONTENT
Text, URL, or Wi-Fi network
Your network name and password never leave this page: they are not saved in this browser, never added to share links, and never logged.
Very low contrast between the two colors — scanners may not read this code.

Good to know
QR codes are generated entirely in your browser. Higher error correction and high-contrast colors scan most reliably.
Wi-Fi mode builds a standard WIFI: payload (special characters are escaped), keeps the quiet zone intact, and never stores your credentials anywhere.
How to use this tool
- Paste a website address or the text you want to share, or switch to Wi-Fi mode and fill in the network form.
- Open More options to pick a style, adjust the colors, size, or damage tolerance.

QR code for a website
Input
https://example.comOutput
A static QR code encoding https://example.com, downloadable as PNG.These buttons share the page link, not your input.
Want to include your text?
Your current input will be stored in the link after the # symbol, not uploaded to Handy Browser Tools. Anyone with this link can read that text. If you send or post it, the service you choose also receives the link. Do not include passwords or private information.
Frequently asked questions
Do these QR codes expire?
Never. The code encodes your text directly (no redirect service), so it works as long as the content itself is valid.
What does error correction do?
Higher levels let the code survive damage or partial covering (like a logo) at the cost of a denser pattern. M (medium) is right for most uses.
How do I make a Wi-Fi QR code?
Switch to Wi-Fi mode and enter the network name, security type, and password. Special characters are escaped automatically, the password is never saved or added to links, and you can print a guest card for visitors.
Can I customize the QR code colors or style?
Yes. Pick one of three module styles (classic squares, rounded, or dots) and set any foreground and background color with the color pickers. Keep the contrast high, ideally dark modules on a light background, so scanners can read it.
Is my content sent to a server?
No, the QR code is generated entirely in your browser.
