QR Code Generator

QR codes encode information into a scannable visual format, commonly used for URLs, contact details, Wi-Fi credentials, and payment information. Most online QR code generators transmit your input data to a server for rendering. This means the URL, phone number, email address, or credential you are encoding is sent to and processed by a third party. For sensitive information like Wi-Fi passwords or private URLs, this creates an unnecessary exposure. LocalForge generates QR codes entirely in your browser using the qrcode library, with no server communication whatsoever.

The generator supports all standard QR code content types including plain text, URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS messages, Wi-Fi network credentials, and vCard contact information. You can customize the output size, error correction level, and color scheme. The QR code is rendered as a high-resolution PNG or SVG, ready for printing or digital use. All encoding and rendering happens through client-side JavaScript with no external dependencies.

Consider what people encode in QR codes: Wi-Fi passwords shared in offices, private event invitation links, personal phone numbers on business cards, and authentication tokens for two-factor setup. Each of these contains information that has value precisely because it is not public. Generating QR codes through an online service broadcasts this private information to the service operator.

With LocalForge, your encoded data stays on your device from input to output. Generate QR codes for any purpose knowing that the information you encode remains exclusively in your possession until you choose to share the resulting image.
