A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that stores data — URLs, text, WiFi credentials, contact info (vCard), payment details (UPI), and more. When scanned with a smartphone camera or QR reader app, it instantly opens the encoded information. QREndlessPro supports 1,421+ QR code types across 38 categories.

Is QREndlessPro free?

Yes, QREndlessPro is 100% free forever. There are no sign-ups, no subscriptions, no watermarks, and no hidden fees. All 7 tools (Generator, Bulk Generator, Customizer, Scanner, Enhancer, Decoder, and Expiry Checker) work entirely in your browser — your data never leaves your device.

What formats does QREndlessPro support?

QREndlessPro supports 7 export formats: PNG, SVG, PDF, EPS, JPEG, WebP, and Base64. QR codes can be generated in any size from 100px to 4096px, with custom colors, logos, and error correction levels (L, M, Q, H). Bulk QR codes can be exported as print-ready Grid PDFs or ZIP archives.

How do I create a QR code for WiFi?

Select 'WiFi' as the QR type in QREndlessPro, enter your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type (WPA/WEP). Click Generate — your WiFi QR code is ready instantly. Guests can scan it to connect without typing the password. You can also bulk-generate WiFi QR codes for hotels, offices, or events.

Can I add my logo to a QR code?

Yes! QREndlessPro's Customizer tool lets you embed a logo in the center of your QR code. It automatically upgrades error correction to Level H so the QR code remains scannable even with 30% of the code covered. You can also add custom colors, gradients, dot styles, and branded frames.

How do I scan a QR code from an image?

Use QREndlessPro's Scanner tool — either drag & drop an image file or use your device camera. It reads QR codes and 13+ barcode formats (EAN-13, Code 128, UPC-A, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417, etc.). Bulk scanning is supported — upload multiple images and export results as CSV.

Is my data safe? Does QREndlessPro collect my information?

QREndlessPro is 100% browser-based — all QR code generation, scanning, and decoding happens on your device. Your data is never uploaded to any server. There are no accounts, no tracking, no data collection. The tool even works offline after the first load as a PWA (Progressive Web App).

Free Chrome QR Code Extension — Generate, Scan & Share QR Codes From Your Browser

Free Chrome QR Code Extension — The Complete Guide

Do you use QR codes? Do you want to make, scan, or share QR codes without leaving your browser? The QREndless Chrome extension puts six QR code tools right in your browser toolbar. Click the icon, pick a tool, and you are done. No website to visit. No sign-up. No internet needed.

This guide will show you what the extension does, how to install it in two minutes, and why it is the best free QR tool for your browser.

What the Extension Does

The extension gives you six tools in one small popup. When you click the QREndless icon in your browser toolbar, a popup opens with six tabs. Each tab does something different.

1. Page QR

This tab makes a QR code for the page you are looking at. If you are reading an article and want to share it with someone who has a phone, just click the extension, and a QR code for that page appears instantly. You can download it as PNG or SVG, or copy it to your clipboard. You can also press Alt+Q on your keyboard to do this without even opening the popup.

2. Text QR

This tab lets you type any text and turn it into a QR code. Type a website link, a phone number, an email address, a WiFi password, or any text at all. The QR code updates as you type. This tab can make every type of QR code that exists — over 1,421 types. Just type your data and the QR code appears.

3. Scan QR

This tab lets you scan QR codes from images. Have a photo with a QR code in it? Upload it or drag it into the scan area. The extension reads the QR code using the jsQR library, which runs entirely in your browser. No image is sent to any server. The scanned text appears instantly, and the extension tells you what type of QR code it found — URL, email, phone, WiFi, or text.

4. WiFi QR

This tab makes it easy to share WiFi access. Type your WiFi name, choose your security type (WPA, WEP, or none), type your password, and click generate. The extension creates a QR code that anyone can scan to connect to your WiFi network. Perfect for restaurants, hotels, offices, and home guests.

5. vCard QR

This tab creates contact card QR codes. Type your name, phone number, email, organization, and website. The extension generates a vCard QR code that, when scanned, opens a contact card on the phone. Perfect for business cards, name badges, and networking events.

6. Batch QR

This tab lets you make many QR codes at once. Type or paste a list of texts — one per line — and the extension generates a QR code for each one. You can make up to 50 QR codes at once and download them all as a ZIP file. Perfect for event tickets, product labels, and inventory tags.

How to Install (Two Minutes)

Installing the extension is easy. You do not need the Chrome Web Store. You download it from our website and load it directly into your browser.

Download the ZIP file from our Chrome extension page. It is only 96KB — smaller than most photos.
Extract the ZIP. Right-click the file and choose Extract All (Windows) or double-click it (Mac). Remember where you extracted it.
Open the extensions page. Type chrome://extensions/ in your browser address bar and press Enter.
Turn on Developer mode. Click the toggle in the top right corner of the extensions page.
Click Load unpacked. A file picker opens. Select the folder you extracted in step 2. The extension is now installed.

The QREndless icon appears in your browser toolbar. Click it any time to use the QR tools.

Right-Click Context Menus

The extension adds five options to your right-click menu. You do not even need to open the popup to use them.

Select text and right-click — Generate QR from text
Right-click on any page — Generate QR from page URL
Right-click on a link — Generate QR from this link
Right-click on an image — Scan QR with QREndless
Right-click on an image — Generate QR from image URL

When you use a context menu, the extension stores the action and shows a badge on the icon. Click the icon to see your QR code.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Three keyboard shortcuts make it even faster:

Alt+Q — Generate QR from the current page URL
Alt+S — Scan QR from a right-clicked image
Alt+Shift+Q — Generate QR from selected text

You can change these shortcuts at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

Is It Safe?

Yes. Here is why:

No data leaves your browser — All QR generation and scanning happens locally using JavaScript.
No server calls — The extension does not connect to any website or API.
No tracking — No analytics, no cookies, no tracking pixels.
Data stored locally — Your QR history is saved in chrome.storage on your device.
You control your data — Export, import, or clear your history anytime from the settings page.

Works Offline

Once installed, the extension works without an internet connection. All the QR code libraries are bundled inside the extension. You can generate, scan, and download QR codes on a plane, in a tunnel, or anywhere with no WiFi.

Dark and Light Theme

The popup has a dark and light theme. Click the moon icon in the popup header to switch. Your choice is saved, so it stays the same next time you open the popup.

QR History

Every QR code you generate is saved in your history. You can see your past QR codes, re-download them, or delete them. The settings page lets you export your entire history as a JSON file, import history from another computer, or clear all data.

Which Browsers Work?

The extension works on any Chromium-based browser:

Google Chrome — version 88 or newer
Microsoft Edge — version 88 or newer
Brave — all recent versions
Opera — version 74 or newer
Vivaldi — version 3.7 or newer

The extension uses Manifest V3, which is the latest Chrome extension standard. All the Chrome APIs it uses are supported by every Chromium browser.

Why This Extension Is Free

The extension is 100% free. No premium version. No limits. No sign-up. The code is open source. Each generated QR code can include a small link to our website (qrendless.pro), which is how we fund the project — the same way free apps work. You can remove the link if you want.
