Project - Fair-QR – The Honest QR Code Generator

The Problem — QR Generators That Feel Like Scams

You know the feeling: you need a QR code right now. Maybe it's for a brochure, a poster, or a business card. You Google "QR code generator" and click the first result.

Then the tricks start.

• Email gates: "Get full resolution" — just enter your email first.
• Fake static codes: it says static, but when you download the high-res version, it's secretly dynamic — linking through their tracking server. Now your printed materials depend on a third party staying online.
• Bait-and-switch pricing: print 5,000 brochures with their "free" QR code, then get hit with a paywall when the redirect stops working.

I'd been burned by this cycle too many times. Every time someone asked me, "Where should I get a QR code?", I had no good answer — because every tool I knew had some catch.

The Solution — A QR Generator With No Asterisks

That's why I built Fair-QR. Not as a business, but as the tool I wished existed: a QR code generator that doesn't play games.

• No registration — not even optional.
• 100% static codes — no tracking server, no expiration, no surprise redirects.
• Full resolution, always free — PNG, SVG, JPEG. Download whatever you need.
• Logo embedding — a feature most tools charge for, included by default.

Everything happens in your browser. No uploads, no server-side tracking, no hidden database of who generated what. Generate as many codes as you want. They're yours, forever.

Why "Fair-QR"?

The name says it all. This is what a QR code generator should be: fair.

People kept asking me for recommendations, and I finally had enough. I sat down and built the tool I'd recommend without hesitation — one that respects your time, doesn't harvest your email, and won't hold your QR codes hostage.

The only extras are 100% optional:

• A Buy Me a Coffee button — for anyone who finds it useful and wants to say thanks.
• A subtle link to Yammmi (my AI calorie tracker app) — for folks curious to try it.

No paywalls. No feature-locking. No asterisks.

Features That Should Be Standard (But Usually Aren't)

🎨 Custom Logo Embedding

Upload your brand logo and Fair-QR embeds it directly into the QR code — a feature most generators charge $5–20/month for.

📐 Multiple Formats & Sizes

Export as PNG, SVG, or JPEG in any resolution. Need a 4000×4000px code for print? Done. No watermarks, no upsells.

🔒 Privacy-First Architecture

All QR generation happens client-side in your browser. No server sees your data, no analytics track your usage. It's between you and your computer.

🌈 Custom Colors & Styles

Tweak colors, error correction levels, and more — because sometimes your brand guidelines matter.

📱 URL, WiFi, vCard, Email, SMS

Generate QR codes for URLs, WiFi credentials, contact cards, pre-filled emails, and SMS messages. All the essential types, no limits.

What's Next — Maybe Premium, Maybe Not

Right now, Fair-QR does exactly what it set out to do: give you honest, free QR codes. Everything you see is free, and it will stay free.

Down the road, I might add optional premium features like scan tracking — for folks who actually want analytics. But the core promise remains: no tricks, no bait-and-switch, no holding your codes hostage.
