About QRcrisp

QRcrisp exists because I kept hitting the same friction every time I needed a QR code: sign up first, give us your email, download is behind the paid tier. For something that should take thirty seconds.

How it started

I needed a WiFi QR code for a rented workspace. Simple job. I went to the first generator that came up in search, started filling in the network details, and hit a registration wall before I could download anything. The second one had a watermark on the free download. The third wanted a credit card for the "full resolution" version.

At that point I figured it would take less time to build the thing than to keep looking for one that worked cleanly. QR code generation is not a complicated problem. The algorithm is well-specified, the browser has everything needed to run it, and none of the data needs to touch a server.

So I built QRcrisp. Side project, evenings and weekends, UK-based. It does what it says: generates QR codes in the browser, stores nothing, requires nothing from you.

What we care about

Three things, mostly.

Privacy by design. All generation happens in your browser. We don't see the URLs, WiFi passwords, phone numbers, or contact details you type. We can't, because they never leave your device. No Google Analytics. No tracking pixels. No cookies. If you're curious about the detail, the privacy policy is short and written in plain English.

Permanence. Every code QRcrisp generates is static. That means it works forever, with no server dependency. Print it on a business card and it'll still scan in 2040, long after most QR services have changed their pricing, been acquired, or shut down. Your code is yours.

Honesty about limitations. We don't support dynamic QR codes (the kind that can be edited after printing and track scans). That's a genuine feature gap for marketing teams and analytics use cases. The dynamic vs static comparison page explains the trade-offs and points to services that handle the dynamic side well.
