⚙️ How This Tool Works Locally
When you use this tool on PrivacyKit, every byte is processed directly in your device RAM.
- 1. No Network Traffic: No HTTP POST or PUT requests are made to any server. Your internet can even be disconnected.
- 2. Modern Native APIs: Computation uses native HTML5 Canvas, Web Cryptography (SubtleCrypto), and client-side binary parsers.
- 3. Zero Footprint: Closing this browser tab immediately frees the memory buffer. No persistent cookies or caches remain.
💡 Frequently Asked Questions
Why do commercial QR code generators expire or charge money?
Commercial QR services create "Dynamic QR Codes" that route users through their tracking servers. When your trial ends, they disable the redirect unless you pay. PrivacyKit generates direct "Static QR Codes" that encode your actual destination directly and work forever.
Can PrivacyKit track who scans my QR code?
No. Because your data is encoded directly into the QR pattern with zero intermediate redirect links, nobody (including us) can track or log scans.
What is QR Error Correction (ECC)?
Error correction allows a QR code to be scanned successfully even if part of the code is dirty, torn, or partially obscured (up to 30% damage with Level H).
Can I generate a Wi-Fi login QR code?
Yes. Enter your network SSID, encryption type, and password. Anyone scanning the code with a smartphone camera will connect to Wi-Fi automatically.
Is SVG format better than PNG for printing?
Yes. SVG is an infinitely scalable vector format that remains razor sharp when printed on posters, billboards, and brochures at any size.
