Overview

The QR Code Generator (TQRCG) Chrome Extension allows you to quickly generate static or dynamic QR codes for the current webpage and scan QR codes using your webcam. With a single click, it creates a QR code from the URL of the active tab, syncs it with your TQRCG dashboard, and displays it in a clean, compact pop-up. Key Features - Generate a QR code from the current tab with one click - Choose between static and dynamic QR Codes - Sync QR Codes created in the extension with your TQRCG dashboard - Scan QR codes using your webcam - Download or copy the generated QR Codes - No special permissions required - Fully offline QR code generation for maximum privacy - Minimalist popup interface for quick access - Lightweight and resource-efficient - Optional link to edit and customize the QR code on the website Trusted by over 700,000+ active users, and completely free for everyone. This extension is designed to be fast, lightweight, and privacy-friendly. It does not request access to your browser data, tabs, or history. It only runs when you click the extension icon, so it uses no memory or resources in the background. All QR Code generation happens entirely offline. The URL you visit is never sent over the internet unless you choose to open the "Edit QR Code" option, which redirects to www.the-qrcode-generator.com. This makes it a highly secure and private option for creating QR Codes directly in your browser. You can now choose to create static or dynamic QR Codes directly from the extension. If you are logged in, QR Codes created through the extension automatically sync with your TQRCG dashboard and show that they were created via the Chrome Extension.
