Why use QR code reader?

Small utility jobs — packaging files into an archive, generating a QR code, encoding data — usually send you to an unfamiliar website that wants an upload. Running them here keeps the task in your browser, takes a couple of seconds and leaves no copy behind.

Your privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. The file you select is read into your device's memory, converted there and offered back as a download — it is never uploaded to our servers. Closing or reloading the page clears it. If you are signed in, we store only the tool name, the number of files and their total size so you can see your own activity history; the file contents are never sent.

Test generated QR codes with a real phone camera before printing them.
For archives, group related files first — the structure you select is the structure you get.
