Privacy & Accessibility
QR Maker is a QR code generator for links, WiFi, phone numbers and text that never expires. It is free, carries no ads, and is made by Sky Wolf Studios.
Where your data goes
Nowhere. Whatever you encode — web links, plain text, phone numbers, email addresses, and WiFi network names together with their passwords — plus the codes you choose to keep and the draft you were last working on is kept in this browser's localStorage under the key `qr-maker.v1`, which holds up to 60 kept codes and the current draft.
There is no upload, no server-side processing, no account, and no copy held anywhere we can reach. We could not hand your data to anyone if we were asked for it, because we do not have it.
How to check that for yourself
Turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data, reload, and generate and download a code — it works, which no server-backed QR generator can do. Open DevTools → Network while you type a WiFi password and you will see no requests at all. Open Application → Local Storage → qr-maker.v1 to see exactly what is kept, and delete it there whenever you like.
What we do not do
- No account, no sign-in, no email address collected.
- No ads, no analytics, no advertising trackers, no cookies, no fingerprinting.
- No selling, sharing or brokering of anything you type here. There is no data to sell.
- No paywall, no trial, no subscription, no watermark, no export limit.
Permissions
The app asks for write-only clipboard access when you tap Copy — most browsers show no prompt, and the app cannot read your clipboard, and only at the moment you use the feature that needs it. Your browser asks you, not us, and you can refuse — the rest of the app keeps working.
Who else is involved
- Stripe — only if you tap the tip jar, which opens buy.stripe.com in a new tab. We never see or store card details.
- Firebase Hosting (Google) serves the app's static files and keeps ordinary short-lived web-server logs such as IP addresses. It never sees what you encode.
Tips
The tip jar links out to a checkout page hosted by the payment provider on their own site. We never see or store card details. Tipping changes nothing in the app — every feature is free either way.
Hosting
The app's files are served by Google's Firebase Hosting, which — like any web host — keeps standard, short-lived server logs such as IP addresses, for security and operations. That log records that a browser fetched a page. It cannot record anything you type, because what you type is never sent to the host.
Children
This app is made for adults. It is not directed at children, and it collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.
Accessibility
We aim for WCAG 2.1 AA: labelled fields, keyboard-operable controls that keep their focus when the page redraws, visible focus rings, 44px touch targets that grow with the text-size setting, screen-reader announcements for changes, and colour contrast checked by build-time solver in both light and dark mode. The display panel in the header sets text size, spacing, contrast, reading style and motion, and those settings follow you across all of our apps.
If anything gets in your way, email us and we will fix it: stephenfurpahs@gmail.com.
