About Open QR Codes
Open QR Codes is built on two core principles: simplicity and privacy. We believe that generating essential utilities like QR codes should be fast, permanent, and accessible to everyone without mandatory subscriptions, tracking, or advertisements.
Why Choose Open QR Codes?
Most QR generators force users into recurring plans, display intrusive ads, or redirect scans through their own analytic servers (which can break or change over time). Open QR Codes works differently:
- 100% Private: QR codes are created locally in your browser. The data you enter never leaves your computer or gets saved on any backend database.
- Permanent & Static: The generated QR codes encode the data directly. They will never expire, have scan limits, or suddenly redirect to a broken page.
- Dynamic Redirect Option: If you need custom redirection (such as load balancing or protecting checkouts), our
/go/redirect bridge allows routing scans safely through your own domain.
How the Redirection Works
For e-commerce operations, linking QR codes directly to checkouts can expose your sales landing pages to scrapers or search bots. The Short Link feature on our generator creates a link like:
https://qrcod-generator.xyz/go/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyourstore.com%2Fcart%2F...
Scanners are first routed to your own domain before instantly proceeding to the Shopify checkout, cloaking the referrer details and securing your backend.
