Integration with context menus lets you generate QR codes for links, selected text, media, and images, or scan images quickly. Additionally, the extension supports extensive barcode recognition on certain OS versions like macOS and Chrome OS.

All operations are processed locally within the browser to maintain user privacy and security, making this extension an ideal all-in-one QR code solution for both casual and professional use.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

QR Code requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
