What Free QR Code Generator does
Free QR Code Generator adds a toolbar button that creates a QR code from the page you're currently viewing, or from a link or text you enter manually. It's aimed at quick, one-off sharing rather than managing QR codes at scale, so there's no dashboard or history to browse past codes.
Free QR Code Generator free vs paid
As the name suggests, this extension is free to use for generating QR codes from links, text, or the active page. It doesn't advertise a separate paid tier, so its feature set stays focused on straightforward code generation rather than expanding into premium analytics.
Is Free QR Code Generator safe?
The extension needs permission to read the active tab's URL so it can generate a QR code for the page you're on. It doesn't need broader access to page content beyond the URL and any text you manually enter to encode.
