About QR Code Zebra

A free QR code generator that runs entirely in your browser. This page is the short, factual version of what that means - no marketing language, just what the product does.

What it does

Turns text, a link, WiFi credentials, contact details, and a few dozen other formats into a QR code, then lets you download it as a PNG or SVG. Several tools also design a full printable artifact around the code - a business card, an art-exhibition label, a Google-review coaster, a cable label - rather than just the bare square. A separate reader decodes QR codes from an image or your camera, also without uploading anything.

What it costs

Nothing. Every tool is free, with no paid tier, no trial period, no account, and no watermark on the output. There is currently no revenue model tied to using the generators.

What expires

Nothing. Every code generated here is static: your content is encoded directly into the pattern, with no redirect service in between. A code downloaded today will scan the same way in ten years, regardless of whether this site is still running. The trade-off is that a static code can't be edited after printing - if the destination changes, you generate a new one. See do QR codes expire? for the longer version of why some other services' codes do stop working.

What is tracked

Nothing about what you type, encode, or scan. The whole generation process runs in your browser - there is no server in the request path for it to reach.

The one exception: when you download a code, your browser sends a same-origin request recording which format you downloaded (PNG, SVG, or a bulk ZIP) and, for bulk downloads, how many codes were in the batch. That is the entire payload - no IP logging we read, no cookies, no identifiers, and nothing you typed. See the provable-privacy page for the exact request and how to block it if you'd rather not be counted at all.

How it's built

A static Next.js site deployed on Cloudflare Workers. QR generation and every designer run as client-side JavaScript using Canvas and SVG - there is no application server or database behind the tools. A Content-Security-Policy header enforces the "your data stays on your device" claim at the browser level, not just as a written promise; the provable-privacy page shows exactly how to check it yourself.
