FAQ — Make a QR

Privacy, local history, bulk CSV, and everyday use of free static QR codes you make here.

Is Make a QR a free QR code generator?
Yes. You can create and download static QR codes as PNG or SVG without creating an account.
Does Make a QR upload my QR content to a server?
Create and decode are built to run in your browser. Hosting still serves the app files like any static website; your encoded payload does not need to leave the device for a basic create or decode pass.
Can I generate a Wi‑Fi QR code?
Yes. Choose the WIFI type, enter the network name and password, then download the image to print or share.
Can I create QR codes in bulk from a CSV?
Yes. The Bulk tool reads a CSV in your browser, builds static QR images, and packs them into a ZIP with a manifest. Your list is not uploaded to generate the batch.
Where is my QR history stored?
Only in this browser’s site storage on your device. Export JSON for a backup you control. Clearing site data removes local history.
Where are codes created and read?
In your browser. Make a QR encodes and reads QR images on this device. Your payload does not need to leave the machine for a basic create or decode pass.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up. Open make-a-qr.com, create or decode, and keep working.
Can I use codes for business?
Yes for ordinary use of the encoded image itself — print it, put it on packaging, or share the PNG/SVG you download. You are responsible for the content you encode and for any rights or regulations that apply to that content in your market.
What QR content types are supported?
URL, text, email, phone, SMS, vCard, MeCard, location, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Wi‑Fi, event, and crypto payment URIs — plus bulk rows of raw content from CSV.
Is anything sent to a server when I generate or decode?
The create and decode tools are built to run locally in the page. You can confirm in your browser’s network panel while you work. Hosting the site still serves the app files like any static website.
