About QRForge

A free tool for making QR codes and shortening URLs. No signup, no tracking, no bullshit.

Why This Exists

Most QR code generators want your email, track you, or charge money. That's annoying. This one doesn't do any of that.

You can make QR codes for business cards, WiFi passwords, URLs, contact info, and other stuff. You can also shorten long URLs. Everything works in your browser, nothing gets stored unless it needs to be (like for the short URLs to actually work).

It's fast, it works, and it's free. That's pretty much it.

QR Codes That Work

Make QR codes for business cards, WiFi passwords, contact info, and other stuff. They work with any phone camera. You can pick colors if you want.

URL Shortening

Turn long URLs into short ones. Useful for sharing links that don't take up half your message. You can see how many people clicked them.

Minimal Tracking

We track basic usage to see which pages people visit and how they use the site. No personal data is collected or sold. Short URLs store what's needed to work and count clicks.

Actually Fast

QR codes generate instantly in your browser. Short links redirect quickly. No waiting around for stuff to load.

How It Works

QR Codes

Generated in your browser using standard libraries. Your data doesn't leave your computer during creation.

Short URLs

Random codes stored in a database so the links actually work. Redirects are fast.

Stats

Click counts for short URLs, plus basic usage tracking to see how people use the site. No personal data collected.
