HOW IT WORKS
1. Click the extension icon — the side panel opens with a QR code for the current page
2. QR code is generated locally — instant, works offline
3. Copy the share link, download the SVG, or grab an embed snippet
4. Share links resolve to edge-cached images that load instantly worldwide
PRIVACY
QRCGen runs entirely in your browser. QR codes are generated locally — no data is sent for the preview. The only network request is a cache-warming fetch so share links load fast for recipients. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics.
