About QRBarcode
A free, simple toolkit for creating and reading QR codes and barcodes.
Our Mission
QRBarcode was built around one idea: creating or reading a QR code or barcode should be instant, free, and available to anyone without an account, a download, or a hidden paywall. We wanted a place where a small business owner, a student, a marketer, or a developer could open a browser tab and get exactly what they need in a few seconds.
What We Offer
QRBarcode provides three focused tools: a QR Code Generator for turning text, links, and other information into a scannable code; a Barcode Generator supporting common formats such as CODE128, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, CODE39, ITF-14, MSI, Pharmacode, and Codabar; and a QR & Barcode Scanner that uses your device's camera to read codes instantly, right in your browser. Every tool is designed to be simple enough for a first-time visitor while still offering the customization (size, color, error correction, format) that more advanced users need.
How We Work
Everything on QRBarcode runs directly in your browser. There is no software to install and no account to create. We do not ask for personal information to use any of the tools on this site — you can read our full Privacy Policy for details on exactly what is and isn't collected.
