Functionality: Generates QR codes from the URL of the currently active browser tab or any user-entered text.

Dual Resolution Output: Offers two resolution options: a standard 400x400 pixels for display within the extension's popup window, and a high-resolution 1024x1024 pixels version for download, catering to both digital and print media requirements.

Ease of Use: Features a minimalist and intuitive interface, making it accessible for all users regardless of technical proficiency.

Download Capability: Allows users to download the generated QR code as a PNG image, especially useful for high-quality prints or presentations.

Does not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data. It operates locally on your browser, generating QR codes directly from the URLs of your active tabs or from text you provide, without sending this information to any external servers. Your browsing data remains private and is not accessed or used by the extension for any other purpose. Use this tool with the assurance that your information remains secure and private.
