How it works
- Pick a content type (URL, text, email, phone, or Wi-Fi) and fill in the fields. Your data stays in this tab—we encode it locally into a QR matrix.
- The preview updates shortly after you stop typing. Use Generate to redraw immediately, or change the pixel size to match print or screen use.
- Email and phone codes use standard
mailto:andtel:formats. Wi-Fi codes follow the commonWIFI:string so phones can offer to join the network. - Download PNG exports the same encoding at the selected size with a quiet zone (margin) for reliable scanning.
FAQ
What is a QR code used for?
A QR code stores text that cameras can read quickly. Typical uses include opening a website, sharing Wi-Fi details, or starting an email or phone call when the payload uses a recognized URI scheme.
Are my URLs or passwords uploaded to ToolPilot?
No. Generation runs entirely in your browser via the qrcode library. Nothing you type is sent to our servers for this tool.
Why won't my QR code scan?
Very long text, low contrast, or a size too small on paper can hurt reliability. Use a larger pixel size for printing, keep the code on a white background, and avoid cropping the quiet border around the pattern.
Which phones can join Wi-Fi from a QR code?
Most recent Android and iOS devices recognize WIFI: QR payloads in the camera app. Exact behavior depends on OS version; open networks use nopass in the encoded string.
