What it is
OpenQR is a web tool for making QR codes and Code 128, Code 39, UPC-A, and EAN-13 barcodes in a browser. Its QR codes can encode URLs, text, WiFi credentials, vCard contacts, SMS, email, location coordinates, and calendar invites. The free plan includes all eight QR types, 1D barcodes, unlimited generation, PNG and SVG exports, and scanning limited to 20 per day. Pro adds unlimited scanning, analytics, logo QR codes, templates, and dynamic QR codes whose destination can be changed after printing. Bulk creation accepts up to 50 URLs or text items and downloads them as a ZIP. Exports also include print-ready PDFs and QR codes with transparent backgrounds. During anonymous use, QR and barcode content is processed locally rather than sent to OpenQR. The optional Canva export sends a rendered QR image to OpenQR's backend for upload to Canva. Pro costs $0.59 per month with a five-day trial, or $5.99 per year; Lifetime costs $9.99 once.
