Message: Hi! I scanned your QR.
Advanced options are optional

Output & print
Print scenarios (1‑click)
Applies size/ECC/quiet zone and a caption template for common print use cases.
Download background
Useful for overlays. Keep high contrast for reliable scanning.
Tip: add a short label near the QR for better scan intent (especially for print).
Tip: for best print results, use 3–5cm+ and keep high contrast with a clear quiet zone.
Share & history (local)
Share links recreate the same QR on another device. The data is stored after # in the URL (hash-only), so it isn’t sent to the server. Privacy details →
Draft
Not saved yet
Draft saves your current inputs + styling so you can continue later.
Saved QRs
Saved instances store both content + styling locally in this browser (not uploaded).
Tip: “Local link” works only in this browser. Use “share link” to recreate the same QR on other devices.
No saved QRs yet. Click “Save current” after you like the result.
Recent
No local history yet. Use “Share this QR” to save one.
