## About this tool

Encode a URL or any text as a QR code in the browser. Error correction L through H, pixel size, quiet zone, and dark/light colors are local options. Download PNG or SVG, or copy SVG from the sticky bar.

How to use: paste a URL, WiFi string, or other payload. Pick ECC (M is a solid default), size, and colors. Download PNG for chat apps or SVG for print. The sticky copy button copies SVG markup.

Example: https://toolbuddy.dev becomes a scannable square. A WiFi payload looks like WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNet;P:secret;;. This page does not open the camera or decode photos.

Pixels are drawn in the tab with qrcode. Related: URL encoder if the link still needs percent-encoding, UUID generator if the payload is an ID. After load, encoding works offline. If you need to convert the PNG to JPG or WebP, try [Online Image Converter](https://onlineimageconverter.net/). If you need to place it on a PDF page, try [LoveThisPDF](https://lovethispdf.com/).
