💭 Why I Built This
Most QR code tools online feel bloated or restrictive:
- Many require accounts or subscriptions just to download a QR code.
- Some lock basic features like color, logo, or export behind a paywall.
- Others are overloaded with ads, making them slow and frustrating.
I just wanted something clean, simple, and free — a tool where you can generate and customize QR codes without hassle.
That’s why I created Simple QR Generator — a project that anyone can use instantly in their browser.
✨ Features
- Generate QR codes from any text or URL.
- Customize:
- Colors
- Shapes
- Styles
- Add a logo (upload your own or use an image URL).
- Adjust:
- Size
- Margin
- Error correction level
- Export to PNG or SVG.
- Copy QR codes directly to clipboard.
⚡ How It Works
- Enter your text or URL in the input box.
- Adjust customization options (color, style, size, error correction).
- (Optional) Upload or link a logo to embed inside the QR code.
- Click Generate, then either:
- Export as PNG or SVG, or
- Copy directly to clipboard for quick use.
All of this happens entirely in your browser — no server-side processing, no data collection.
